Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Cellectis S.A. Form 20-F for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2016 Filed March 23, 2017 File No. 001-36891 Dear Mr. Edwards and Ms. Jaskot: On behalf of Cellectis S.A. (the “Company”), I submit the Company’s response to the comment contained in the letter of the Staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) dated October 31, 2017 relating to the Company’s aforementioned Form 20-F. For ease of reference, the text of the Staff’s comment is also set forth below (in bold) in its entirety, with the Company’s response following such text. Form 20-F for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2016 Current Intellectual Property Portfolio, page 76 1. We refer to your proposed disclosure in response to comment 1, and note that issued patents relating to your gene-editing platform and T-cell and CAR technology platforms have upcoming expiration dates in 2019. In future filings, please also discuss whether you expect the expiration of these patents to have a material effect on your business, including any impact on future operations and the financial position of the company. Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment in response to the Company’s previously proposed disclosure. In future filings, the Company will enhance its disclosure to discuss whether the expiration of its patents in 2019, or within one year of future filings, would have a material effect on the Company’s business, including any impact on its future operations and financial position. The Company’s proposed disclosure appears in Annex A hereto, marked to show changes from the proposal included with its previous submission. * * * * If you have any questions in connection with the foregoing, please contact me by telephone at +33 (0)7 76 98 70 74 or by e-mail at marie-bleuenn.terrier@cellectis.com. Very truly yours, Cellectis S.A. By: /s/ Marie-Bleuenn Terrier Marie-Bleuenn Terrier General Counsel cc: André Choulika Chief Executive Officer, Cellectis S.A. Boris Dolgonos Jones Day ANNEX A Current Intellectual Property Portfolio As a result of the licensing opportunities described below and our continuing research and development efforts, our intellectual property estate now contains patent applications that cover our products, including claims that cover: • methods central to genome engineering and gene editing, including methods of homologous recombination, nuclease-based gene targeting, replacement, insertions and/or knock-out; • the main products we use in the manufacturing process, including nucleases; • manufacturing steps, including cell electroporation, transformation and genetic modifications; • engineered cells; • single-chain and multi-subunit CARs expressed at the surface of T-cells; • specific gene inactivation and suicide gene expression; • allogeneic and autologous treatment strategies using our T-cell products; and • plant traits and methods for gene editing plant cells. The issued patents in our portfolio consist of approximately 26 Cellectis-owned and 46 in-licensed U.S. patents, 14 Cellectis-owned and 11 in-licensed European patents, and 45 Cellectis-owned and 11 in-licensed patents in other jurisdictions, including Australia, Canada, China, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Japan, Korea, Mexico and Singapore. The pending patent applications in our portfolio consist of approximately 73 Cellectis-owned and 18 in licensed U.S. patent applications, 48 Cellectis-owned and 20 in-licensed European patent applications, and 322 Cellectis-owned and 70 in-licensed patent applications pending in other jurisdictions, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Japan, Korea, Mexico and Singapore. Our portfolio includes a total of 144 owned and in-licensed granted patents, and 551 owned and in licensed patent applications. Our UCART product candidates rely for each product candidate upon one or more patent rights protecting various aspects of the technologies, including rights relating to: • the genetic editing of T-cells, using TALEN technology or meganuclease technology, covered by approximately twelve Cellectis-owned patent families and three in-licensed patent families; • the insertion of transgenes into T-cells using electroporation of mRNA, covered by approximately five Cellectis-owned patent families; • the appending of attributes to T-cells, covered by approximately eight Cellectis-owned patent families and one in-licensed patent family; • the molecular structure of CARs, covered by approximately six Cellectis-owned patent families; and • specific CARs that target selected antigen markers are covered by approximately fifteen Cellectis-owned patent applications and one in-licensed patent family. For additional information, see “—Gene-Editing Platform” below. Similarly, our most advanced plant product candidates each rely upon one or more patent rights relating to: • the genetic editing of plants using TALEN technology, covered by approximately six Cellectis-owned patent families and two in-licensed patent families; • the genetic editing of plants using meganuclease technology, covered by approximately eight Cellectis-owned patent families and one in-licensed patent family; • the genetic editing of plants using CRISPR-Cas9 technology, covered by approximately two Cellectis-owned patent families and three in-licensed patent families; and • specific plant traits, which are covered by approximately twelve Cellectis-owned patent families. Individual patent terms extend for varying periods of time, depending upon the date of filing of the patent application, the date of patent issuance, and the legal term of patents in the countries in which they are obtained. In most countries in which we file patent applications, including the United States, the patent term is 20 years from the date of filing of the first non-provisional application to which priority is claimed. In certain instances, a patent term can be extended under certain circumstances. For example, in the United States, the term of a patent that covers an FDA-approved drug may be eligible for a patent term restoration of up to five years to effectively compensate for the patent term lost during the FDA regulatory review process, subject to several limitations discussed below under “—Our Intellectual Property Strategy.” Also, in the United States, a patent’s term may be lengthened by patent term adjustment, which compensates a patentee for administrative delays by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in granting a patent, or may be shortened if a patent is terminally disclaimed over an earlier-filed patent. Our issued patents will expire on dates ranging from 2019 to 2035. If patents are issued on our pending patent applications, the resulting patents are projected to expire on dates ranging from 2023 to 2035. However, the actual protection afforded by a patent varies on a product-by-product basis, from country-to-country, and depends upon many factors, including the type of patent, the scope of its coverage, the availability of regulatory-related extensions, the availability of legal remedies in a particular country, and the validity and enforceability of the patent. The patent portfolios for our most advanced product candidates, UCART 19 and UCART123, are summarized below. Gene-Editing Platform Each of our UCART product candidates relies upon our gene-editing platform and T-cell and CAR technology platforms. The patent portfolio covering these platforms and technologies, includes approximately 30 issued patents or pending patent applications. These issued patents and pending patent applications, which expire between 2019 and 2033, cover product claims or process claims relevant to each of our product candidates, including UCART19 and UCART123. Our gene-editing platform and each of our UCART product candidates benefits from the protections of several patents and patent applications in our patent portfolio. As a result of this broad range of patent protection, very few individual patents in our portfolio are critical to our ability to effectively conduct our product development activities. Although certain patents relating to our electroporation technology will expire in 2019, other patents covering this technology remain in force, or are expected to be granted under patent applications, and additional patents protect the nucleases delivered by our electroporation technology, as well as the methods to modify the cells by use of such nucleases. As a result of the breadth of our patent protection and the integration of patented technologies, compositions and methods of use within our gene-editing and T-cell and CAR technology platforms, we do not expect that the expiration of these patents in 2019, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our future operations or financial position. UCART19 In addition to the patent portfolio relating to our platform and technologies, described above, our patent portfolio relating specifically to UCART19 includes pending patent applications from the patent family WO2014184143 (CD19 Specific Chimeric Antigen Receptor and Uses Thereof). We believe these pending patent applications, which, if issued, would expire in 2034, include claims to cover the composition of matter of UCART19, methods of manufacture of UCART19, and methods to use UCART19 in treatment. UCART123 In addition to the patent portfolio relating to our platform and technologies, described above, our patent portfolio relating specifically to UCART123 includes pending patent applications from the patent family WO2015140268 (CD123 Specific Chimeric Antigen Receptors for Cancer Immunotherapy). We believe these pending patent applications, which, if issued, would expire in 2034, include claims to cover the composition of matter of UCART123, methods of manufacture of UCART123, and methods to use UCART123 in treatment. In each case, some of the issued patents and pending patent applications, if issued, may be eligible for patent term extension and patent term adjustment, thereby extending their terms, as described above.

Our UCART product candidates rely for each product candidate upon one or more patent rights protecting various aspects of the technologies, including rights relating to: • the genetic editing of T-cells, using TALEN technology or meganuclease technology, covered by approximately twelve Cellectis-owned patent families and three in-licensed patent families; • the insertion of transgenes into T-cells using electroporation of mRNA, covered by approximately five Cellectis-owned patent families; • the appending of attributes to T-cells, covered by approximately eight Cellectis-owned patent families and one in-licensed patent family; • the molecular structure of CARs, covered by approximately six Cellectis-owned patent families; and • specific CARs that target selected antigen markers are covered by approximately fifteen Cellectis-owned patent applications and one in-licensed patent family. For additional information, see “—Gene-Editing Platform” below. Similarly, our most advanced plant product candidates each rely upon one or more patent rights relating to: • the genetic editing of plants using TALEN technology, covered by approximately six Cellectis-owned patent families and two in-licensed patent families; • the genetic editing of plants using meganuclease technology, covered by approximately eight Cellectis-owned patent families and one in-licensed patent family; • the genetic editing of plants using CRISPR-Cas9 technology, covered by approximately two Cellectis-owned patent families and three in-licensed patent families; and • specific plant traits, which are covered by approximately twelve Cellectis-owned patent families. Individual patent terms extend for varying periods of time, depending upon the date of filing of the patent application, the date of patent issuance, and the legal term of patents in the countries in which they are obtained. In most countries in which we file patent applications, including the United States, the patent term is 20 years from the date of filing of the first non-provisional application to which priority is claimed. In certain instances, a patent term can be extended under certain circumstances. For example, in the United States, the term of a patent that covers an FDA-approved drug may be eligible for a patent term restoration of up to five years to effectively compensate for the patent term lost during the FDA regulatory review process, subject to several limitations discussed below under “—Our Intellectual Property Strategy.” Also, in the United States, a patent’s term may be lengthened by patent term adjustment, which compensates a patentee for administrative delays by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in granting a patent, or may be shortened if a patent is terminally disclaimed over an earlier-filed patent. Our issued patents will expire on dates ranging from 2015 2019 to 2035. If patents are issued on our pending patent applications, the resulting patents are projected to expire on dates ranging from 2023 to 2035. However, the actual protection afforded by a patent varies on a product-by-product basis, from country-to-country, and depends upon many factors, including the type of patent, the scope of its coverage, the availability of regulatory-related extensions, the availability of legal remedies in a particular country, and the validity and enforceability of the patent. The patent portfolios for our most advanced product candidates, UCART 19 and UCART123, are summarized below. Gene-Editing Platform Each of our UCART product candidates relies upon our gene-editing platform and T-cell and CAR technology platforms. The patent portfolio covering these platforms and technologies, includes approximately 30 issued patents or pending patent applications. These issued patents and pending patent applications, which expire between 2019 and 2033, cover product claims or process claims relevant to each of our product candidates, including UCART19 and UCART123. UCART19 In addition to the patent portfolio relating to our platform and technologies, described above, our patent portfolio relating specifically to UCART19 includes pending patent applications from the patent family WO2014184143 (CD19 Specific Chimeric Antigen Receptor and Uses Thereof). We believe these pending patent applications, which, if issued, would expire in 2034, include claims to cover the composition of matter of UCART19, methods of manufacture of UCART19, and methods to use UCART19 in treatment. UCART123 In addition to the patent portfolio relating to our platform and technologies, described above, our patent portfolio relating specifically to UCART123 includes pending patent applications from the patent family WO2015140268 (CD123 Specific Chimeric Antigen Receptors for Cancer Immunotherapy). We believe these pending patent applications, which, if issued, would expire in 2034, include claims to cover the composition of matter of UCART123, methods of manufacture of UCART123, and methods to use UCART123 in treatment. In each case, some of the issued patents and pending patent applications, if issued, may be eligible for patent term extension and patent term adjustment, thereby extending their terms, as described above.

In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure. Please respond to this letter by providing the requested information and either submitting an amended draft registration statement or publicly filing your registration statement on EDGAR. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response. After reviewing the information you provide in response to these comments and your amended draft registra tion statement or filed registration statement, we may have additional comments. Overview, page 1 1. We note your response to comment 1 and your continued disclosure that “[r]ecent clinical results indicate that CAR -based immunotherapy is one of the most promising areas of cancer research…” As you have not yet commenced any clinical trials with respect to CAR -based immunotherapy, please expand your disclosure to describe the clinical results you are referring to, including the subject of the trials, who a nd when they were conducted and why you believe they suggest that CAR -based immunotherapy is a “promising area of cancer research.” The rights of shareholders in companies subject to French corporate law differ, page 66 2.

Item 504 of Regulatio n S-K requires disclosure of the approximate amount intended to be used for each specific purposes identified for the use of proceeds. We understand that the development of product candidates is subject to uncertainty, but that does not relieve you of you r obligation to provide investors with your best estimate, based on reasonable assumptions, of the manner in which you will allocate investors’ funds. In this regard, we note that your pipeline table identifies four UCART product candidates at various sta ges of development that you expect to enter into clinical or pre -clinical studies in 2015. Your use of proceeds disclosure should indicate how you expect to prioritize the use of proceeds from the offering to advance each of the product candidates in this regard. Accordingly, please revise your use of proceeds disclosure to indicate : how you intend to allocate the proceeds of the offering towards the development of each of your product candidates; and how far in the pre -clinical and/or clinical d evelopment process you expect the allocated proceeds from this offering will enable you to reach for each of the product candidates you identify. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Overview, page 79 4. Please refer to your response to comment 15. You state that the company considers payments from Servier and Pfizer to be cash generated by operations.

Therefore please revise your disclosure to be consistent with page 91 or explain to us why “cash generated by operations” is not a duplicative explanation.
