Patent and trademark attorney firm HGF has opened a new office in The Hague.
The office, which is next to the European Patent Office’s The Hague branch, provides a base for the firm in the Netherlands.
The firm has hired Achim Krebs (pictured below) to lead the office as a partner.
Krebs, who joins from law firm Haseltline Lake, has experience in IP portfolios and patent licensing.
Paul Sanderson, chief executive of HGF, said: “We recognise a need to service our existing business connections in the region. Achim’s experience and knowledge will be a great asset to the firm.”
