Patent

Partner

Richard Ebbink (partner) specialises in European patent litigation. He represents international companies before the Courts of The Hague and has vast experience in coordinating parallel national proceedings and EPO oppositions. His language skills (fluent in English, French, and German) particularly recommend him in an international context.

Richard is a regular speaker at conferences on the infringement and validity of European patents in the national courts, and on how to coordinate parallel actions.

Member of the EPLAW Advisory Board (ex EPLAW president).
