Practice Areas

Jean-Hyacinthe de Mitry is a partner in Gide's "Intellectual Property" team in Paris. He specialises in French and European industrial property law.

His expertise covers, both for contentious and non-contentious matters, the full spectrum of industrial property (patents, trade marks, designs and models), the protection of trade secrets, as well as unfair competition law. With respect to copyright, his expertise includes notably architectural works.

As counsel, he regularly assists French and foreign operators in drafting and negotiating contracts involving industrial property rights and technology transfers, particularly in connection with large-scale transactions (IPOs, joint ventures, acquisitions, infrastructure projects, etc.) and for venture capital funds and start-up companies, notably in biotechnologies.

Jean-Hyacinthe is a graduate of Sciences Po Paris and holds a postgraduate diploma (DEA) in literary, artistic and industrial property law from the University of Paris II Panthéon-Assas. He was admitted to the Paris Bar in 2005.
