The origins of the Brandon Rezac group:
Brandon IP, founded in 1866 under the name BLETRY FRERES, is one of the oldest (if not the oldest) intellectual property firms in France. In 2017, it changed its name to Brandon IP and joined forces with Brandon Valorisation to offer its customers a broader range of services dedicated to intellectual property: protection strategy, monitoring of procedures, but also economic and financial valuation of assets (patents, trademarks, software, know-how, etc.).
With the idea of offering customers a single portal covering all aspects of intellectual property, Brandon IP and Brandon Valorisation joined forces in 2023 with Rezac Law. This new combination completes the service offering with the last pillar of intellectual property: its defense.
Today, the Brandon Rezac group is your privileged partner for the protection, defense and enhancement of all your intangible assets.
