Core offering

Bandpay & Greuter is a Paris-based European Patent Attorney firm providing end-to-end industrial property services, including patent drafting, prosecution before European, US, Japanese, Korean, Indian, and Chinese patent offices, opposition and appeal proceedings, freedom-to-operate studies, IP due diligence, and litigation support. The firm serves international industrial groups, foreign enterprises, universities, startups, and SMEs with technical expertise spanning IT, telecommunications, electronics, mechanics, physics, materials, chemistry, and biology. A digital tool, BGApp, complements the firm's professional services for patent management.

Product overview

Bandpay & Greuter is a unified patent consulting service rather than a modular software platform. The firm offers comprehensive intellectual property services including patent detection, drafting, prosecution, opposition proceedings, freedom-to-operate studies, and due diligence. Their BGApp represents a digital tool component for patent management, though the main offering is professional consulting services delivered by their team of European patent attorneys and IP consultants.
