Sécuriser vos projets, 
accompagner votre croissance

Protéger ses inventions par brevets est essentiel pour garantir un avantage concurrentiel, sécuriser votre propriété intellectuelle, s’assurer un monopole d’exploitation. Le brevet est un levier stratégique pour les entreprises, un moteur de croissance et de rentabilité.

Selon une étude conjointe de l’Office Européen des brevets (OEB) et de l'Union européenne pour la propriété intellectuelle (EUIPO) publiée en février 2021, les entreprises détenant au moins un brevet, un dessin ou une marque génèrent un chiffre d'affaires par salarié supérieur de 20 % à celui des entreprises n'en possédant pas.

Une étude de l'OEB en 2023 indique que les start-ups détenant des brevets ont une probabilité trois fois plus élevée de lever des fonds que celles qui n'en possèdent pas.
Le marché mondial des licences de brevets était évalué à 2,407 milliards USD en 2024 et devrait atteindre 4,381 milliards USD d'ici 2032, avec un taux de croissance annuel composé (TCAC) d'environ 7,77 %.
L’impact positif de la détention de brevets par les entreprises sur leur performances financières et leur capacité de financement n’est plus à prouver

STEP 1: THE INITIAL MEETING

Everything starts with a conversation.

Haute-Garde has chosen to put people at the heart of its process, as early as possible.
The initial meeting allows us to understand the client’s needs and grasp the invention.
During this exchange, we determine the best protection strategy to adopt.

STEP 3: DRAFTING

We draft your patent application.

Après l’étude et l’analyse, notre expertise se porte sur la rédaction de votre demande de brevet (ou certificat d’utilité). Nous proposons une écriture nourrie de l’expérience et adaptée à tous les projets. Nous établissons également des dessins techniques pour accompagner la rédaction. Une fois validée par les soins du client, nous soumettons la demande.

STEP 5: IMPLEMENTATION

The filing of the patent application.

Once the project is approved by all stakeholders, we file the patent application to establish a priority date with the Offices, such as the INPI or EPO.

STEP 2: STUDY & ANALYSIS

We review your project and prepare your protection.

This initially involves a prior art search in patent databases.
This essential preliminary step allows us to analyze the patentability of your invention and/or its freedom to operate.

STEP 4: FOLLOW-UP MEETING

Design the best possible protection.

A follow-up discussion with the inventors allows us to confirm the protection sought through the patent application, thereby securing your project, ideas, and invention as effectively as possible.

Secure your projects, support your growth.

Filing a patent is more than a legal formality; it’s a strategic tool to protect innovations, secure intellectual property, and maintain exclusive rights. For companies, it’s essential for growth, value, and competitiveness.

Studies show that patent ownership correlates with better financial performance and easier access to funding. Patents are key assets for building a strong, innovative, and forward-looking business.
