• Business Development Manager & IP Consultant

  • Sep 2016 - Jul 2020

  After almost five years as a trademark attorney at Novagraaf, I decided to move into business development. Why? For the simple reason that we are different. Unlike typical IP service providers, we go the extra mile to get to know our clients and to understand their precise needs and priorities. Unlike typical IP law firms, we offer a broader range of solutions together with pragmatic advice.The result is smart IP management services, coupled with a flexible approach to billing and invoicing. As a Business Development Manager and IP consultant with a background in trademark practice, I understand the challenges and needs of companies and their IP departments. This background enables me to help companies such as yours put in place IP processes that make the most of your team, resources, budget and capabilities. I look forward to doing the same for your company! In the meantime, find out more at: www.novagraaf.com Show less
