"A good interaction between me and my clients is very important to me"
Kees Hollaar is a committed, approachable and experienced patent attorney. Besides his broad mechanical engineering expertise in various sectors he has a great passion for sports. In particular for the triathlon. From this passion follows a special interest in sports-related innovations. For Kees sport is more than a hobby. It is a lifestyle that shapes him, both physically and mentally, and this has a deeper impact on his work.
As a dedicated triathlete, Kees combines three demanding disciplines: swimming, cycling and running. This requires not only physical strength and endurance, but also mental focus and strategic thinking. These traits form the basis of his approach to his work. His dedication and perseverance is reflected in the way he approaches each triathlon leg and his commitment to his clients and their innovations. "Sport teaches you to persevere, to remain focused on your goal," says Kees. "I apply that mentality to my work. I see a new challenge in every innovation and I approach it with the same determination and drive as I do my sport."
Kees not only has a winner's mindset when participating in sport but also when doing his work. He always strives for the best result for his clients and knows that success often depends on small details. Be it the last few metres of a race or the critical elements of a patent application. "A good interaction between me and my clients is very important to me. That is why I quickly want to get a good understanding of my client's business. I also make sure that my client understands the world of patents. Because then we can optimally strengthen each other when it comes to achieving our goal," he explains.
For Kees, the parallels between sport and work are clear: both require dedication, strategy and the ability to constantly learn and improve. His love for sport and passion for innovation not only make him an outstanding professional, but also someone who understands how to get the most out of every challenge, regardless of whether it is a physical or intellectual one.
