French patent agent Bonnet-Thirion, also called a Société Thirion et Bonnet, was recorded as being at address boulevard Beaumarchais, 95, Paris. Charles-Alexandre Thirion and Joseph Bonnet. See J. Bonnet-Thirion et Breton for reports on presumably later developments.

The agent or agency is listed in different ways, probably meaning the same institution:

  • 1882-1893 patents list a patent agent "Thirion (Paris, boulevard Beaumarchais, 95)"[1][2][3]
  • Some 1897-1899 patents list: "La Société Thirion et Bonnet, boul Beaumarchais, 95, Paris".[4][5][6][7]
  • 1910-1913 patents list a patent agent "J. Bonnet-Thirion".[8][9][10][11] We also have "J. Bonnet et Thirion".[12]
  • 1914-1915 patents say "J. Bonnet-Thirion et Breton"[13][14][15]

Société G. Breton, P. Audy, J. Rousset, A. Vergé likely represents a further merger, inclusive of Breton, though exclusive of Thirion. This fits neatly with the later filing dates of all the pertinent material.

Broader history

"Bonnet-Thirion was founded in 1852 by Charles Thirion, author of several articles and books on Intellectual Property, who played a key role in promoting the signature of the Convention de Paris pour la protection de la propriété industrielle." In 2003 it merged into another firm, and is now part of the firm named Santarelli.[16] It appears there are more historical sources in an archive (if that's what this page says).[17]

In 1904 Thirion and Bonnett coauthored De la législation française sur les brevets d'invention.
