Somnox: protecting innovation in sleep technology
Somnox, a pioneer in sleep technology, is on a mission to help the world sleep better. Their innovative product, the "sleep robot," uses breathing simulation and gentle sounds to help users relax and fall asleep more quickly. This unique concept, supported by scientific research, has gained worldwide recognition. Behind the scenes, EP&C plays a vital role in protecting Somnox’s innovative technologies and ideas.
IP protection as a foundation for growth
Somnox operates in a rapidly evolving market where innovation is essential, but the risk of imitation and competition is ever-present. Together with EP&C, Somnox has developed a robust IP strategy that ensures their technology is well-protected through patents. This protection allows Somnox to focus on their mission without worrying about infringements or imitations.
The power of collaboration
The partnership with EP&C is defined by a personal and strategic approach. The EP&C team delves deeply into Somnox’s technologies and proactively identifies the best ways to protect them, both in the Netherlands and internationally. This enables Somnox to confidently enter new markets and continue to grow as a leader in sleep innovation.

EP&C contributes to the future
At EP&C it is about more than just patents. We want to use our expertise to contribute to a healthy future and a better world. That is why we are committed to sustainable initiatives. Time Travelling Milkman's oil droplets is an example of such an initiative, as are Rival Foods' meat substitute and social firm Tworby’s bicycle conversion kit. The better we look after people and the environment now, the longer we can continue to do what we love: work with forward-thinking entrepreneurs.
