Experience

Olivier Van der Poorten holds a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and was an FWO Postdoctoral Researcher at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. In October 2019, he was granted with the Solvay Awards 2018 during a public ceremony to be held as part of the “Public Lectures” organized by the International Solvay Institutes of Chemistry and Physics at Flagey (Brussels). The Solvay Awards, organized by the Solvay Institutes for Physics and Chemistry, celebrates the talent and expertise of the laureates, their specialties, and distinguished academic career in chemistry or physics presenting ground-breaking research.

Olivier joined Gevers as a patent attorney trainee in 2019. His comprehensive knowledge and profound experience in synthetic organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry including various subdomains such as small organic chemicals, amino acids, peptides, and polymers, and organic chemistry techniques (solution- and solid-phase organic synthesis, multicomponent reactions, and catalysis) offer him the capability to adapt to complex and diverse inventions in these fields and to handle patent cases in close cooperation with qualified patent attorneys.

He advises and represents you for the patent landscape of competitors, license contracts, freedom to operate, validity of third party’s patents, infringement situations, patentability of inventions, prosecution, opposition, and nullity actions. He handles cases in English and Dutch.
