Before moving to NLO, I worked for a leading supplier of industrial sustainable productivity solutions, working intensively with international research teams from various technical domains.
I like to actively engage the inventor in drafting a patent application and in doing so, I am not afraid to embark on complex discussions. Quite the opposite, as I still enjoy the challenge of continuously expanding my technical and legal knowledge.
Since my time at NLO, I have continued to leverage my background in providing intellectual property solutions to clients in the sustainable and clean technology sector. With a profound understanding of mechanical intricacies in clean tech, I assist clients in fortifying their intellectual assets for pioneering mechanical technologies designed to combat environmental challenges.
