Set up in 1999, the Bangkok office employs ten multilingual, experienced consultants and trade mark and patent attorneys, educated at top universities, who are ready to resolve the most demanding and complex IP issues.

The firm strives to exceed expectations and adhere to the three core values established over 25 years ago by founder Mr Patrice Vidon, a French and European patent and trade mark attorney: closeness, professionalism, and international vision.
