Hoogenraad & Haak

Patent, copyright, design, trademarks and unfair competition

Partner intellectual property

Moïra Truijens was admitted to the bar in 2005 and prior to joining Hoogenraad & Haak she worked for two different Tier 1 firms. Moïra enjoys working on all IP-law related matters, including (cross border) patent litigation, as well as unfair competition, custom matters and commercial contracts. She is an excellent litigator yet above all a committed problem solver, capable of keeping matters simple and act pragmatically. She acts for big internationals but also for smaller businesses. Being a strong strategist and fluent in three languages she is an excellent pan-European team player and leader. Her role as a Deputy Judge with the Court of Appeal Den Bosch strengthens that position.

Moïra is an active member of several professional associations, including the Dutch Association of Intellectual Property Law (AIPPI/VIE), the Dutch Advertising Law Association (VvRr), the Benelux Trademark and Design Law Association (BMM) and the Dutch Association for Copyright Law (VvA).

Furthermore she is a member of the Marques Designs Team. She teaches and lectures regularly on subjects related to her practice and is one of the authors of a handbook on design law. Furthermore, she is chairing and co-author the Dutch AIPPI group reports on ‘Requirements for protection of designs’ and ‘Bad faith trademarks’.
