The filing of a patent or a trademark – which the Aquinov firm – takes charge of – is not the end of the process: to enable their clients to use and to increase the value of the acquired rights, Aquinov’s IP Consultants have created a distinct structure called Valuatis. « In this way we increase the value of our extensive knowledge of companies and their strategy », Bernard Pouchucq, IP Consultant explains.

• Adding value to the IP portfolio: financial evaluation, legal, technical and geographical validity of the titles.
  
  
• Managing claims and studies in the case of supposed copyright infringement.
  
  
• Conducting legal proceedings concerning copyright infringement or nullity.
