With a background in nuclear physics (KUL, 2014) and years of experience in patent practice, he understands that an effective patent strategy must be not only technically and legally strong but also closely aligned with the business objectives of his clients. Glenn aims to protect innovation but also to leverage it as a valuable business tool.

He has extensive experience in drafting and defending patent applications across various technology areas, including manufacturing (such as construction materials and food), medical technology, mechanics, and electrical engineering. His specific expertise particularly lies in protecting inventions in the IT & software sector, industrial processes and materials, and the development of medical devices.

Additionally, Glenn is registered as a UPC representative after successfully completing his law degree at KU Leuven, and his master’s thesis focuses on procedural safeguards at the Unified Patent Court (UPC).

His approach is always focused on practical applicability and maximizing the commercial value of intellectual property.

Within IFORI, Glenn is not only the point of contact for patents but also advises on trade secrets and designs. Thanks to his broad knowledge, he can support companies in protecting a wide range of intellectual property rights, thereby strengthening their competitive position.
