JÉRÉMIE LEROY-RINGUET, ATTORNEY-AT-LAW

 

WHO AM I?

I have been a lawyer at the Paris Bar since 2018 and I practice copyright, trademark and press law. Before becoming a lawyer, I was communication manager for the baroque music ensemble Les Arts Florissants. My clients have historically been composed of artists, producers, and cultural figures. They also include individuals and companies active in sectors as diverse as media, perfumery, tableware, tourism, sports, and advertising.

Since 2023, I teach intellectual property in the Master’s program in Music Management at the University of Saint-Etienne (France) and copyright litigation at the EFB (Bar Training School of the Paris Court of Appeal), where I am also a teaching advisor. Finally, I participate in the mentoring program at Sciences Po Paris Law School.

WHY CHOOSE ME?

Whether you’re an individual or a professional, whether you’re just starting your business or your company is already well established, intellectual property is a crucial issue for you, especially in the context of recent developments in generative AI.

Are you wondering if it’s worth registering your trademark and how to do it? Has one of your competitors chosen a name that resembles yours and is this causing you harm? Are you a photographer, musician, or writer and would you like to know the legal implications of using generative AI? Have you been served with a formal notice for copyright infringement or violation of image rights? Do you want to ensure the protection of your trademark abroad? I can help you answer these questions and defend you effectively.

My clients appreciate my availability and responsiveness. I am particularly attentive to ensuring that my clients understand the value of my services and have visibility into their costs, including in the context of legal proceedings. I advise them as best I can to avoid unnecessary expenses: I take a pragmatic approach aimed at operational efficiency for my clients.

The law is often seen as a constraint by companies, largely rightly so: compliance, the weight of various regulatory layers, the lawyers’ monopoly on certain procedures, etc. But I also try to show my clients how the law also represents an opportunity to achieve their objectives.

I have experience in American intellectual property law, acquired directly in a law firm in the United States, particularly in trademark law. This has given me an intimate understanding of the requirements and procedural steps required to file trademark applications with the U.S. Trademark Office. I also have a network of correspondents abroad.
