荷兰和比利时申请为注册机制，程序简单快捷、费用低廉；但其保护范围却不容小觑，因此现在成为诸多企业的首选。具体请参考以下详细信息。如有需求请联系我们本页的汉语联系人。

授权速度快、授权有保证且成本低
无论提交荷兰专利申请书时是以首次申请还是后续申请的名义，均能享受低成本、快速的专利递交流程。这是因为荷兰未设审查程序，所以专利公开后即可自动获得授权。

战略意义

对于中国申请人，通过知识产权在欧洲站稳脚跟具有非常重要的战略意义。提交荷兰专利申请书能够确保申请人以较低的成本获得专利权，从而满足申请人的多种需求。比如，彰显申请人的国际地位、获得补贴，或者在与不断涌向荷兰专利市场的申请人获得竞争优势。

荷兰——整个欧洲大陆的进出港
荷兰是整个欧洲的进出口中转中心。2020年，荷兰是欧盟中从中国进口产品最多的国家，占总进口量的25%以上。同时，欧洲最繁忙的港口鹿特丹港也位于荷兰。另外，欧洲专利局(EPO)的分支办事处也位于荷兰海牙，使这里成为欧洲最重要的知识产权中心之一。

比利时——世界最大海运通道
位于比利时的安特卫普港口作为欧洲第二大港，拥有世界最大的海运通道，也是最靠近欧洲巨大的生产和消费中心的港口。首都布鲁塞尔是欧盟主要机构所在地，还设有欧洲专利局的行政分局。

因此，如果申请人产品的目标市场是欧洲，则应重点考虑在荷兰与比利时获得专利保护。

荷兰专利诉讼
由于便捷、快速的程序、语言的优势以及鹿特丹港的重要性，荷兰是欧洲除英国和德国之外的最主要专利诉讼国家。尤其在通信领域和医药领域，荷兰已经成为专利纠纷的主战场。

NLO的专利律师有丰富的诉讼经验，其中多位专利律师是业界公认的诉讼行业旗帜。比如第三方评价机构JUVE Patent对NLO在诉讼方面有非常高的评价 https://www.juve-patent.com/market-analysis-and-rankings/litigation-and-prosecution-firms/rankings-netherlands-2022/nlo-netherlands-2022/

“This patent attorney firm is very active in the Dutch litigation market, especially when it comes to mobile communication patents, be it implementation patents or SEPs. This was clearly demonstrated when Nokia retained the team for the Dutch proceedings against Oppo. NLO is also involved in multiple cases for the Finnish SEP owner, together with lawyers from Bird & Bird.

In Harm van der Heijden and Hans Hutter NLO boasts two of the best-known Dutch patent attorneys in this segment. That the latter recently switched from partner to of counsel status did nothing to harm his visibility. He is still highly active for Nokia in the courtroom, for example.

NLO enjoys an excellent reputation throughout Europe in the electronics field through its prosecution work for Samsung and Baidu. However, the firm needs to win more prosecution clients like these for litigation if it is to catch up to De Vries & Metman, which is always active in more mobile communications cases than NLO. For example, while Samsung looks to other firms for litigation in the Netherlands, there could be potential in the relationship to Xiaomi, which NLO has already represented in Dutch cases that recently ended.

Life science patents are the second mainstay of the firm, and when it comes to pharmaceuticals and biotechnology disputes Mari Korsten is the firm’s figurehead, coming highly praised for his prosecution and litigation work in this area. On the prosecution side, NLO’s best-known life sciences client is Nutricia, a Danone brand division for baby and medical nutrition. But when it comes to litigation, the patent attorneys are mainly active for research-based pharmaceutical manufacturers. They are currently representing a US corporate in a major battle over medical products in Europe.”
