Introducing Robbert-Jan

I studied chemistry in Utrecht and wrote my Ph.D. thesis on organic synthesis. Before joining EP&C as a patent attorney in 2004, I worked at KeyGene, a biotechnology company. I specialize in food and nutrition within the chemical field and have expertise in patent disputes and evidence seizures.

I served on the EPI Council (2020-2023) and as President of the Dutch Institute of Patent Attorneys (2014-2018). I frequently lecture on IP topics and advise the government on patent law. I am a team player, persuasive, and committed to providing clients with honest, reliable advice.

We must provide reliable support and advice to our clients and not just say what we think they want to hear
