Archivists serving Intellectual Property
PAPERZ IP is a company with expertise in documentary research. Thanks to its specialised archives, advanced technological tools and experienced researchers, it provides intellectual property professionals with design and trademark search services.
THE IDEA
At the very beginning
It is in 2009 that the adventure of the company begins when Camille Champion, its founder, discovers the field of industrial property as she meets company owners confronted with IP issues.
Camille then understands that it is at that time very complicated, if not impossible, for companies to find dated proof that they could set against their opponents in counterfeiting, unfair competition disputes or parasitism.
The good idea
Camille Champion is convinced of the necessity to keep these documents, intended to disappear over the years, safe. From then on, Camille begins to develop, in her own living room, a documentary collection on manufactured products. With the help of her team, which is gradually growing, she collects, files and archives all types of media in the fields of fashion, decoration, toys, etc. A considerable and unique archive is built and enriched daily.
Development
Over time, thanks in particular to various recommendations, the number of clients and enquiries keeps on growing. The client base is more diverse and the documentary collection expands.
The company then called Modèle Déposé, decides to head towards a digital and international pathway. This is how PAPERZ IP is born in 2022.
Always the same team with the same values of professionalism and confidentiality, but with a richer archives, new information management tools and external sources that allows us to carry out design and trademark research efficiently.
