Founded in Annecy in 1976 by Jean-François Poncet and his wife, Florence Poncet, Cabinet Poncet is an Industrial Property law firm specialised in protecting innovations: filing patents, trademarks, designs, and models in France and around the world.
The law firm is now headed by Amandine de Nantes (née Poncet) and her husband Olivier de Nantes.

Our network of foreign partners, located in almost every country in the world and specialised in their national laws, makes it possible for our law firm to assist you in all your international issues.
