HGF are pleased to be a partner of P2I2025, the annual
symposium organised by the Intellectual Property Commission of the
French Aeronautics and Astronautics Association (3AF). The event
brings together specialists from across the aerospace, defence and
IP communities to explore the strategic value of intellectual
property in a rapidly evolving geopolitical and technological
landscape.
As part of this year’s programme, Laurent Barbe, Partner at HGF will deliver a
session on “IP as an Instrument of National and Technological
Sovereignty” which will examine the growing link between
sovereignty and intellectual property, and how patents are
increasingly used as tools to secure, control and leverage critical
technologies. Drawing on sector-specific data and trends, the
session will highlight:
How national IP systems underpin State sovereignty.
The role of patents in strengthening technological
independence.
Raising defence budgets across Europe and their impact on
innovation.
Patent trends in defence-related technology fields.
The strategic importance of France’s Defence Industrial and
Technological Base (BITD).
Opportunities and risks associated with secrecy, foreign
acquisitions, and cross-border portfolio control.
Laurent will be joined at the event by Partner Vivien Verbrugge.
The P2I2025 Symposium offers a unique platform for aerospace
professionals, SMEs, engineers, researchers and policymakers to
share insights, explore emerging challenges, and contribute to
shaping the direction of IP strategy in aeronautics, space and
defence.
