Apart from drafting and prosecuting patent applications, I have experience with novelty searches, opposition procedures, freedom-to-operate and infringement advice, due diligence, and general patent strategy, including the management and parallel prosecution of worldwide patent portfolios.
I enjoy providing cost-effective and pragmatic advice by making maximum use of the applicable rules and procedures. I also realize that no two are the same: an effective advice is always tailored to the client’s specific business needs.
Before joining NLO, I obtained a PhD in microbiology at KU Leuven.
