He can take on critical and complicated litigation projects, demonstrating his high level of organisation, diligence and ability to be on top of every detail in the case.

Jules Fabre heads Taylor Wessing's patent department in Paris. He specialises in intellectual property, with a particular focus on patent and regulatory matters in the Life Sciences and pharmaceutical sector.

He has extensive experience handling complex French and cross border patent and SPC litigations, both in private practice and in­house and is often instructed by clients to handle the pan-European co-ordination of their patent litigations and market access strategies, in addition to representing them before French courts and the UPC. Jules was involved in the first ever branded versus generic patent litigation brought before the UPC.

ln addition to his previous experience in other international law firms (Hogan Lovells, Linklaters, Pinsent Masons), Jules was a Senior Counsel in the European IP and Regulatory Litigation team of a Teva Pharmaceuticals in London, where he coordinated pan-European launch strategies, patent litigations and settlements. This brings an in-depth understanding of the industry from the inside, which enables Jules to provide sound and commercially relevant advice, and a detailed knowledge of patent litigation in the various European jurisdictions.

Jules is Unified Patent Court (UPC) representative.
