Bram Schoonjans

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.
