Legal advice & New color IP

For the past 25 years, I not only keep track of all developments in the scientific literature, but also in the patent literature.

Having been responsible for maintaining and extending the color patent portfolio at AkzoNobel for more than 2 decades, I do have a good overview of relevant patent positions worldwide. Of the novel color methods for which the main manufacturing industries thought filing a patent is worthwhile. Of the patent filings that had to be withdrawn because of objections by myself or by other parties.

And of course, having filed more than 10 patents related to color technology myself, I can help you in writing a patent on any idea you may have. Or in mapping out the patent landscape in case you consider entering a new technology field. Just contact ColorsAI.nl if you want to know more.

Just two examples of patents I filed myself:

[1] Kirchner, Vlot, Unnikrishnan, Method for matching a vehicle coating of any gloss level. Patent WO2023161235, Filing date 21.02.2023.
