The Ipsilon story: growth driven by innovation, excellence and strategic acquisitions

Ipsilon was founded by Valérie Feray in 2000 in France. Under her leadership, the company has enjoyed remarkable growth over the last two decades, capitalizing both on organic growth, notably with the opening of regional and international offices (Germany and USA), and on external growth by integrating several firms in France and Benelux.

Ipsilon’s strength lies in its DNA, characterized by excellence, proximity and commitment. Customers and employees are always at the heart of the group’s concerns, which has enabled it to be recognized as a leading firm by the benchmark rankings.

An important turning point came in 2022 with the investment of Waterland Private Equity. Since this investment, Ipsilon has made several strategic acquisitions that have considerably expanded its portfolio of services and reinforced its ambition to become a major player in intellectual property in Europe and worldwide.

Ipsilon is selective about the companies it integrates, ensuring that they share its entrepreneurial DNA, characterized by operational flexibility and responsiveness, without ever compromising on excellence.

The company offers a wide range of services covering all areas of industrial and intellectual property, from patent and trademark drafting to litigation. Present in France, Benelux, Germany, the United States and China, the group employs around 250 people.

Today, Ipsilon is one of the top three IP consultancies in France and one of the top five in Benelux. It enjoys a leading position in major industry rankings such as the Financial Times, Juve Patent and Décideurs Magazine, thanks to its expertise in all technical fields.

Under the leadership of Valérie Feray, Ipsilon continues to expand its international footprint while maintaining the core values that have driven its success since its inception.

“With a partner like Waterland, we have been able to look to the future in an ambitious way. In just two years, our partnership has almost tripled the size of our company.” – Valérie Feray
