Vivien & Associés advises French and international companies on the creation, protection and commercialization of their intellectual property and technology assets, and the implementation of their digital projects. Our practice combines solid knowledge of regulations governing data, artificial intelligence, connected products and services, cybersecurity, digital health, cloud services, e-commerce and intellectual property, with a strong understanding of our clients’ technical architectures and business models.
We assist our clients in the protection and valorisation of their inventions, trademarks, patents, copyrights, software, data and proprietary know-how. Our work includes drafting and negotiating licensing, tech transfer and co-ownership arrangements, as well as handling disputes relating to non-authorized uses.
We are frequently instructed by companies seeking support in data protection, cybersecurity and complex data flows, including compliance audits, negotiation of data-related agreements, cross-border transfers and security incident response services.
Our expertise in digital health enables us to regularly assist public and private entities with compliance with sector-specific regulations and standards, as well as with matters relating to AI in healthcare, the secondary use and commercialization of health data, health data hosting certification, and research and innovation projects.
We support clients through the structuring of secure contractual relationships, including the drafting of tailor-made agreements (sale, supply and distribution, partnerships, outsourcing and IT services), leading strategic negotiations, and handling commercial disputes.
Our clients operate across diverse sectors, including technology, software and digital platforms, health and social services, mobility and transportation, media and entertainment, industrials and engineering, telecommunications, and cloud services.
