Roel is a European, Dutch and Belgian registered patent attorney. He has a background in physics, and due to his broad background he advises clients in several fields, such as mechanical engineering, physics, quantum computing (e.g. quantum cryptography, quantum networks), software, aerospace engineering and electrical engineering.
As a patent attorney, Roel assists inventors and companies (startups, SMEs and multinationals) in all aspects of patent prosecution. His experience includes drafting patent applications, prosecuting patent applications at the EPO, oppositions, Freedom-to-Operate (FTO), and advising on patentability, (in)validity and infringement.
Due to his background in (theoretical) physics, he has a particular interest in the intersection of quantum technology and intellectual property. His master’s specialization in theoretical physics was “Quantum Universe,” which focuses on the relationships between theoretical physics, particle physics and astronomy in the study of nature at different scales. During his bachelor and master, Roel took a number of courses related to quantum computing such as quantum mechanics, advanced quantum mechanics, and electronics and signal processing and statistical mechanics. During these courses, he acquired a thorough understanding of quantum mechanics. In addition, Roel attended lectures on quantum cryptography.
