TRAITÉ THÉORIQUE ET PRATIQUE
DES BREVETS D’INVENTION
ET DE LA CONTREFAÇON
Eugène POUILLET       

The book entitled “Traité théorique et pratique des brevets d’invention et de la contrefaçon” (theory and practice of patents and infringement) by Eugène Pouillet is one of the major legal writing works which contributed to the development of French patent law.

Using a clear style (Mr. Pouillet also made himself known to his contemporaries by recounting his memories as an attorney-at-law under the pseudonym of “Maître Auclair”, which means “the attorney-at-law who makes things clear”) and such colourful phrases that we still like to quote them today, Mr Pouillet could develop rich legal writing, always paying attention to details and practical needs, aware of all case law developments and discussions, of which his practise as an attorney-at-law gave him a very clear view.

Even if this work could not remain the reflection of current law in all respects, it is still a reference book for legal writing and case law in patent law.

Véron & Associés are pleased to present the industrial property community with the 5th edition of 1909 (as revised and updated by André Taillefer and Charles Claro).
