Pascaline has more than 15 years of experience in intellectual property, contracts and innovation. Attorney-at-law since 2008, Pascaline Vincent joined CASALONGA in 2011 and became a partner in 2023.

She advises French and international companies in all areas of intellectual property (patents, trademarks, designs, copyright), both in counseling and litigation. Pascaline assists clients in developing their global creation and innovation strategies, in drafting and negotiating diverse contracts and in enforcing their rights before the offices and courts. She has also developed in-depth expertise in standard essential patent litigation and UPC rules.

Her renowned training in business law and significant experience allow her to handle a wide range of issues linked to intellectual property, such as commercial law and unfair competition, innovation valuation, intellectual property tax law, as well as all IT issues (NICT, IT and software, databases, Internet, GDRP, etc.), on which she provides training to clients. She has also acquired a recognized experience in the valuation of IP assets and in portfolios and contracts audits.

Since 2019, Pascaline has been based in our Toulouse office, which she develops, in coordination with the Paris team.
