  The attorneys of EDP PATENT ATTORNEYS B.V. provide patent strategy advice and assist in acquiring patent rights and in opposing or nullifying rights of other parties. Furthermore, they advice in avoiding infringement and assist in infringement proceedings. To discover potential intellectual property (IP) opportunities and threats, the attorneys perform IP audits. The attorneys provide intellectual property workshops and lectures for decision makers and research scientists, to make them aware of the chances and pitfalls of intellectual property rights. Furthermore, they assist in setting up (corporate) patent strategies of existing parties like SMEs and multinationals, but also advise start-ups. In this way, the attorneys transform knowledge of the clients into value and transferable assets and improve their clients’ competitive position. Hence, we do not sell patents, we serve you with IP strategy, in line with your business strategy. EDP Patent Attorneys B.V. is a patent law firm that started in 2011 as Ellens & van Essen B.V.
