Cabinet Bonnet-Thirion was founded by Charles Thirion in 1852. He was a renowned intellectual property author and commentator. Monsieur Thirion distinguished himself as a leading force behind the promotion and the accession to the Paris Convention of 1883. We are dedicated to perpetuating his intellectual discipline and leadership.
Rinuy, Santarelli was founded in 1977 by Guy Rinuy and Marc Santarelli. In 1979, Marc Santarelli became a silent partner of Cabinet Bonnet-Thirion. The firms commenced their successful collaboration of more than two decades. Luc Santarelli and Bruno Quantin trained at Cabinet Bonnet-Thirion in the early 80s before becoming partners of Rinuy, Santarelli.
Cabinet Bonnet-Thirion and Rinuy, Santarelli had complementary practices: a strong domestic client base of SMEs and large companies essentially in the mechanical, electromechanical and applied physics fields for Cabinet Bonnet-Thirion and a predominately international client base in chemical, pharmaceutical, biotech, electronic and mechanical technologies for Rinuy, Santarelli. The firms have been handling potential conflicts of interest as a single entity since 1979.
In December 1996, Cabinet Bonnet-Thirion moved its offices to a building adjacent Rinuy, Santarelli on Avenue de la Grande-Armée.
The merger process commenced in 1998 when the former senior partner Georges Foldès of Cabinet Bonnet-Thirion retired and was consummated on March 1, 2003: Santarelli came to be.
