Peter Haas

US patent attorney

Entrepreneurial and pragmatic, I understand the business value of your IP. I am a registered U.S. Patent Attorney and a part-qualified European patent attorney. My career began in mechanical engineering in manufacturing in interesting areas including automotive loudspeakers, microswitches, and marine engines. As a patent attorney, I ran my own practice for more than 12 years in the US where I obtained, asserted, and defended a full-spectrum of intellectual property rights. Before joining NLO, and while living in Belgium, I worked in in-house capacities at a nano-tech research center, a medical device manufacturer, and at a white goods manufacturer.

US Practice

I am originally from the US and I bring a can-do attitude to client matters. This is well grounded in more than 8 years hand’s on experience as an engineer working in manufacturing industries combined with over 20 years of experience in protecting, asserting, defending, and leveraging IP as a practicing US Patent attorney in both private practice and in-industry roles. I hold a Master’s degree in Mechanical and industrial engineering combined with a Juris Doctor. My diverse and varied experience enables me to better understand your technology and how to best protect it to provide you a competitive advantage.

I enjoy languages, nature and animals. When not working, I volunteer at a local animal shelter where I walk dogs and have considerable experience with “difficult’ (temperamental) dogs. I live in Leuven with 3 dogs, 2 of which came with me from the USA and all are rescued from shelters.
