IP can be a challenging subject for companies and startups, but it is vital for sustainable economic success, especially in the digital sphere. A good starting point to assess the IP situation of a startup and to decide on the needed IP protection is the performance of an IP audit. Having worked as an in-house patent counsel in the medical technology industry, I understand IP not only from a legal perspective, but also from a business and operational point of view. As Quality Management Representative and Quality Auditor for DIN EN ISO 9001 and DIN 77006, I help to shed light on your current IP needs and support you in obtaining appropriate, business-driven IP protection.
