About Roeland Grijpink

Roeland is a partner at HOYNG ROKH MONEGIER. He practices in all areas of intellectual property law, with a focus on patents. He represents national and international clients before the Unified Patent Court (UPC) and the Dutch courts, in proceedings about telecommunications, life sciences and mechanics. He has been involved in many cases on standard essential patents and developed a particular expertise on FRAND cases.

Roeland’s soft IP practice focuses on product design (design rights, copyrights and slavish imitation). In previous years, Roeland litigated cases about the design of inter alia wallets, curtain rails and potato fries.

Besides intellectual property, Roeland also assists clients on matters of advertising law, (IP-related) competition law and commercial contracts.

In 2015, Roeland gained both international and in-house experience outside our firm, when he was seconded to an IP boutique firm in London and a Dutch multinational involved in health technology and consumer electronics.

Roeland is a member of the board of the Dutch Association of Intellectual Property Litigation Lawyers (VIEPA). He has registered Intellectual Property Law as his principal legal practice area in the Netherlands Bar’s register of legal practice areas (rechtsgebiedenregister). Based on this registration, he is required to obtain ten training credits per calendar year in this principal legal practice area in accordance with the standards set by the Netherlands Bar.
