Stephan Kohlhof
German industrial group Thyssenkrupp has invested heavily in IP over the past year, particularly in its increase in patent applications. Kohlhof played a particular role in building up the patent portfolio for the company’s multi lifts. As the world’s first rope-free lift, the linear motors allow multiple cars to travel vertically in a single shaft.
Kohlhof was also part of the team advising on the purchase of the Intelligent Gate Systems. The company is a division of the Swedish FMT Group.
