Introducing Hans

Graduated from Delft University of Technology, and before starting my career as patent attorney and partner at EP&C in 1988, I had a 7 years industrial experience in the power transformer industry as a project and development engineer.

Once in the patent profession, the combination of technology, law and languages was my driving force. My activities ranged from food processing to offshore construction, from machine control to telecommunication and banking software, all in close personal cooperation with large and small companies and private inventors. 

I work in close collaboration with our clients to develop tailor-made IP strategies in an informal setting, with a sharp eye for the finer details as well as the wider business context.
