Jordi Kox

Ik heb werktuigbouwkunde gestudeerd aan de Universiteit Twente en een master in IE-recht en management behaald aan de Universiteit van Straatsburg, met een focus op de regels van het unitair octrooi (UPC). Sinds 2004 ben ik werkzaam als octrooigemachtigde en in 2006 trad ik toe tot EP&C.

Mijn werk omvat het behandelen van octrooiaanvragen, opposities en het verdedigen of aanvechten van octrooien bij de Kamers van Beroep van het EOB. Daarnaast treed ik op als onafhankelijk expert bij bewijsbeslagen en adviseer ik cliënten over IE-strategieën. Als lid van de CET4-werkgroep van FICPI neem ik graag deel aan strategische debatten. Ik spreek Nederlands, Engels, Spaans en Duits.

IAM Patent 1000
IAM magazine (een international magazine) publiceert een jaarlijkse special genaamd “IAM Patent 1000 - World’s Leading Patent Practitioners”. Dit is wat zij over Jordi zeggen:

EP&C is a superb choice for all rights holders, from start-ups to multinational heavyweights, and companies can find everything they need to protect their intangible assets under one roof. “The firm is doing excellent work and its team is super friendly, approachable and excellent at explaining the complex patent landscape.” The outfit is a particular hit with patrons in the mechanical sector, with Jordi Kox and Christiaan Houben lauded as “extremely creative attorneys that come up with technically brilliant and winning arguments that other attorneys would not have even considered”. Civil engineer Walter Hart is a repository of trust for those in the construction industry, thanks to his impeccable patentability instincts and in-house experience. Meanwhile, managing partner Hendrik Jan Brookhuis is the go-to for Canadian and US entities looking to protect their rights and cement their market position in Europe.

The “friendly, thorough” Jordi Kox is a “critical, detail-oriented thinker” who produces “exceptionally strong analyses” and has a fantastic track record at the EPO. 
2020
"Kox is a strong, analytical and thorough professional” who nets success before the EPO time and again."
2019
"Hart is also an expert on all things UPC-related, as is Jordi Kox who wrote a thesis on the subject while taking his MA in IP law and management. Kox is a talented linguist who speaks Dutch, English, Spanish and German – this, combined with his down-to-earth sensibility, makes him easy for just about any company to partner with on IP strategy implementation projects.”

“Kox is my first option in the Netherlands,” says one foreign associate, enthusing over “an extremely talented patent specialist”, whose peers “would not hesitate to consult him”. “He’s technically proficient, a team player and is a great performer in the courtroom, where he stands out from the competition.” Experienced before the EPO, he knows the likely arguments for rejection or cancellation, and channels this knowledge into avoiding common pitfalls in prosecuting applications.
