As an experienced Dutch and European Patent attorney I help companies build a strong patent portfolio that adds value to their business. My focus is on mechanical engineering and I cooperate with other patent attorneys having a different technical expertise via Custos IPC. Patents are an exclusive right to stop others to make, use, sell an invention for a given period of time, allowing companies to obtain a competitive advantage by establishing a unique market position. Patents may put your company in a strong position for collaborations, mergers and acquisitions, attracting investors, and obtaining financial benefits via licensing or tax reductions. The companies I assist apply for patents on a regular basis or are at the start of building a patent portfolio. They are active in manufacturing, engineering, (renewable) energy, packaging, building materials, medical devices, consumer products, etc. For these companies I draft patents that add value to their business, or as their strategic advisor I am the link between the internal engineering team and the external patent attorney, making sure that the patent portfolio aligns with the business and that the IP budget is well spent. The largest patent applicants have a team of inhouse patent attorneys, I can be that inhouse patent attorney for your company, regardless of the size of your patent portfolio.
