On this web site you will find more information relating to intellectual property rights, technology transfer and information technology law, all closely related areas of law in which I am active on a professional and academic level.

Intellectual property rights are exclusive rights that are granted by way of national, international and supra-national laws and treaties to artists, innovators, manufacturers of products and providers of services. By granting exclusive exploitation rights, governments all over the world intend to promote creativity and technological progress, to the ultimate benefit of consumers.

On this web site, you will retrieve information on the application, enforcement and exploitation of the most well-know types of intellectual property rights, namely patents, trademarks, designs, and copyright. Furthermore, a collection of national, international and supranational laws, regulations and treaties has been included here, as well as some relevant case-law on certain topics.

Electronic copies of some of my publications, slides of presentations, etc. have been added as well.

I sincerely hope you have an interesting experience by browsing on this site, which will be updated on a regular basis.
