Bas AlbersCEO at Patent Cockpit

My previous career as a technical editor in marketing communications provided me with many practical insights that later proved highly valuable in my work as a patent engineer. The Business Development Email Course conveys exactly those kinds of insights in a compact and concentrated way instead of having to acquire them slowly over many years. In my view, it is a very interesting and practice-oriented offering for the patent profession

Harald BechmannFreelance Patent Engineer | former Patent Engineer at ZKW

With my live interviews about licence compliance on LinkedIn and my expert page on the digital IP lexicon, I was able to reach new target groups for my services and share my expertise. Using these fast and direct channels enabled a new way of addressing current topics in licensing compliance and responding quickly to feedback and trends.

Tomas GeerkensDirector at Connor

The platform gave me the opportunity to showcase my expertise at the intersection of AI and patent law to a much broader audience. It has helped me connect with innovators who are shaping the digital transformation, and positioned my work in a community where IP is seen not just as legal protection, but as a driver of ecosystem growth. This visibility has been invaluable for building trust and new collaborations.

Sebastian GoebelFounder at Bösherz Goebel Patentanwälte

As a subject matter expert in AI-based patent searches and white-spot analyses, I demonstrated use cases for my patent search tool through case studies and live demonstrations, leveraging the channels of a powerful IP management platform and network. This resulted in greater visibility for our brands, uptoIP® and patentbutler.AI®, while also supporting the promotion of our products and services.

Daniel HolznerCEO at ABP PATENT NETWORK GmbH

As a subject matter expert for patent information in the steel industry, I could present my knowledge to a vast community of relevant in-house patent professionals. This was possible by the use of established and valued social media channels and blogs. And finally, being a subject matter expert helped me to create new business contacts in the steel industry.

Sascha KamhuberCEO at infoapps GmbH

It has been a truly transformative journey professionally and personally. The live LinkedIn interview with Prof. Wurzer was very pleasant and inspiring. It helped me to showcase my practice to a wider audience, broaden my network, get new projects and speaker invitations from new contacts. The downloadable white paper I offered on the dIPlex was a great opportunity to share my expertise in green IP with new contacts as member of an expert community. This engagement helped me gain recognition outside the circles where I was already known.

Dr. Cornelius Mertzlufft-PauflerPartner at Maucher Jenkins

The opportunity to use various channels as a subject matter expert for the targeted creation of patent circumvention solutions has helped me to raise awareness for my focus topics in the relevant circles.
