Marcel Kortekaas

I’ll never forget an inventor excitedly showing me splintered wood after we developed a polyketone adhesive that passed extreme boiling water tests. That success marked the start of a new business. Equally rewarding was overcoming competitor patents, including paving the way for synthetic corks, a highlight with immediate market impact.

Over the years, my growing expertise in patent law has led to exciting challenges, such as presenting a key legal issue before the Enlarged Board of Appeal (G_1/24). I thrive on turning complex technical and legal puzzles into opportunities for clients, helping them navigate patents to protect and grow their innovations.

I embrace challenges, from solving technical puzzles to advancing key legal issues for the benefit of my clients
