JUVE Comment
This IP firm is ahead of the rest of the Dutch market when it comes to major patent disputes before Dutch courts on the patent attorney side. The small, pure patent attorney firm has now put even more distance between itself and its main competitors NLO, V.O. and Aomb, with four very visible patent attorneys in life sciences, telecommunications and mechanics cases.

JUVE Comment
In this mixed IP firm, patent attorneys make up the majority of fee earners. And although patent prosecution across a broad technical spectrum accounts for the main portion of the firm’s work, some patent attorneys, such as Martin Luten for electronics patents and Hans Prins in the pharma and biotechnology field, enjoy an excellent reputation for providing technical support in infringement and revocation proceedings before the Dutch patent courts. The firm is also very visible in EPO proceedings.

JUVE Comment
This IP boutique remains one of the market leaders for patent disputes in the Netherlands. Competitors are unlikely to challenge this position any time soon, as Brinkhof has been visible before the Dutch patent courts with a huge number of partners more often than the competition. The partners also conduct proceedings across a much broader technical spectrum than most other Dutch patent firms.
