About Octrooifabriek
Who am I going to help?
I help entrepreneurial inventors and inventive entrepreneurs. They either have a production business or are aiming to build one.
Why do I want to help you?
I believe that producing companies are the future of our economy. I believe that your business value will increase with a correct IP strategy. I can help you get a strong IP strategy, so you will be sustainable and more profitable for long into the future.
Why am I qualified?
I have worked with inventions, inventors and entrepreneurs for all of my life. I have worked in the field of patents in different roles, as a patent examiner, as an inventor, as a patent attorney for 30 years. I feel the same emotions, speak the same language and share the same experiences as entrepreneurs and inventors.
Where am I going?
My dream is to make protection of ideas available to anyone. I believe that protected ideas are the key to a more prosperous world, a cleaner world and a more sustainable world. For that we need access to the creativity of all 7,8 billion brains on the planet. Everyone of them should be able to protect his or her invention with ease. Because a tiny fraction of those inventions will change the world for the better. The more brain access there is, the faster we will transform.
