Background

About Stijn Lagaert

As a registered European and Belgian Patent Attorney and European Patent Litigator, I provide advice on a wide range of patent and IP topcis. I have experience in the fields of biotechnology, pharmaceutical chemistry, agrotech, as well as food and feed technologies and formulations. My activities include all aspects related to patents, including the drafting and prosecution of European and International applications, performing patentability and freedom-to-operate studies and providing advice on the strategic utilization of an IP portfolio. I'm seasoned in due diligence work, i.e. analysing and evaluating a third party’s portfolio as well as optimally preparing a client’s patent portfolio for due diligence review. I represents clients in defensive and offensive opposition and appeal proceedings before the European Patent Office and am registered to practice before the Unified Patent Court. I'm also an expert on patent extensions (SPCs) for medicinal and agricultural products.
