Strategic expertise in Europe and Africa
At INLEX, we offer comprehensive Intellectual Property services throughout Europe and Africa — two dynamic regions rich in innovation, cultural diversity, and economic opportunities. Through a combination of local presence and reliable partner networks, we support our clients in navigating legal systems, securing their rights, and enhancing their intangible assets in key jurisdictions.
Europe
Since 1995, INLEX has helped companies build robust Intellectual Property strategies across the 27 Member States of the European Union, including France, as well as in Switzerland, the Benelux, the United Kingdom, and Monaco.
With more than three decades of experience initiated by its founder, we help our clients transform their intangible assets into genuine competitive advantages — whether it’s launching a new product or service, entering a market, or managing complex portfolios.
Thanks to our strong partnerships with trusted local firms, federated by a common charter and a dedicated IT tool, we ensure a smooth coordination and consistent protection of your rights throughout Europe, with recognized and proven expertise before the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO).

Africa
As the Intellectual Property environment in Africa is simultaneously dynamic, complex, and uncertain, INLEX is ideally positioned to support you whether under OHADA law or Common Law systems.
We cover all 54 countries of the African continent, whether on a national or regional basis (OAPI and ARIPO), thanks to a hybrid network comprising of local offices (in Cameroon, Morocco, and Mauritius) and trusted regional partners. This structure enables us to provide bespoke strategies that are legally robust and adapted to local realities.
Since opening our first African office in Yaoundé (Cameroon) in 2014, near OAPI headquarters, we have continued to strengthen our presence in order to better support companies active on the continent.
