Experience

Allan is an expert in electronics, mechanics, and computer implemented inventions. He focuses on patent drafting and prosecution in both national and international procedures, and conducting patentability and freedom-to-operate assessments for your innovation. Prior to joining GEVERS as a Patent Engineer and Patent Attorney trainee, Allan conducted fundamental research in the field of the bio-mechanics of touch at UCLouvain, and subsequently worked as a Research Engineer at intoPIX, where he contributed to the development and standardization of video compression technologies.
