»Erfindungen auf dem Hochtechnologiesektor sind mein Spezialgebiet. Hier ist die Kombination aus technischem Können, Kreativität und sorgfältiger Vorbereitung oft der entscheidende Faktor, um wertvolle Patente zu erhalten und diese auch erfolgreich gegen die Konkurrenz durchzusetzen oder zu verteidigen.«

Dr. Nikolaus Buchheim graduated with distinction from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and received his PhD degree from the Max-Planck-Institute of Quantum Optics for experimental research carried out on the fundamentals of quantum computers.
