Loïc Lemercier, Partner, heads the Intellectual Property and Technologies (IP&T) group of Dentons’ Paris office.

Over the last 10 years, Loïc has handled both contentious and non-contentious patent, trademark, copyright, design, unfair competition and trade secret cases.

Focusing on industrial property, Loïc has built a solid patent litigation track record assisting many large corporations with a particular emphasis on the pharmaceutical and telecoms sectors. Loïc's practice includes initiating and defending preliminary injunction proceedings, seizures for gathering evidence, and actions on the merits dealing with validity and/or infringement of the intellectual property rights.

Loïc regularly advises clients in the technology sector, particularly in relation to FRAND obligations and the impact of those obligations on obtaining relief in France.

In addition to his litigation work, Loïc advises his clients on contract negotiation and drafting (e.g. R&D, trademark or patent licensing, pledge agreement) in the context of M&A transactions.
