About Custos IPC

Patents zijn bedrijfsschatten. Deze dienen goed bewaard en bewaakt te worden. Met een octrooibureau dat in het Latijn letterlijk schatbewaarder betekent, weet je zeker dat de bescherming van je innovatieve ideeën en innovaties in goede handen is.
On 16 May 2023, patent office Custos IPC was founded by two ladies and one gentleman. Willemyn Slikker and Christine Portier have earned their spurs as patent attorneys (Willemyn) and Formalities Officers (Christine) over the past 15 years. Bas Hekman is new to the world of patents and trademark and design rights. An experienced business developer, he enthusiastically proclaims the story of Custos IPC.
We form a cooperative of which all self-employed people are members. This model was chosen in the belief that people should be empowered. Do what you are good at and get even better at it. That is our philosophy. We are convinced that by doing so we combine the best of both worlds.
Clients work with experienced, intrinsically motivated self-employed people, without the vulnerability and dependence of a one-person firm. At the same time, members can collaborate, share and enrich knowledge at the service of leading companies.
On our services page, we have described in detail the services and work we enjoy doing.
