Testimonials

2026

"Our experience working with Hogan Lovells has been consistently outstanding. The firm’s expertise in patent law is unparalleled, and their team’s comprehensive understanding of both the legal intricacies and the technical aspects of intellectual property has proven invaluable. They have consistently provided clear, actionable advice on matters involving, or likely to become involved in, litigation. Moreover, the firm’s commitment to understanding our business objectives and aligning their services with our long-term goals has made them a trusted partner."

"The way they approach each matter thoroughly, delving into both the business and commercial context as well as every detail of the case, combined with their strategic thinking and in-depth knowledge of relevant case law, consistently leads to excellent results. That is precisely why I choose to work with the Hogan Lovells Amsterdam team on all complex and important trademark matters."

"For filing and administrative matters we primarily work with a trademark agency. We turn to Hogan Lovells for the more complex prosecution questions. In these cases as well, I am very satisfied with their service, for the same reasons as mentioned above in response to the previous question."

"This team stands out for their high level of expertise and combines this with a pragmatic and commercial approach. Thanks to their quick responses, clear communication, and strategic insight, they are a reliable partner for day-to-day coordination and – more importantly for us – for support in high-impact matters."

"Their team is extremely professional, dedicated, and consistently delivers high-quality work. They combine strong legal expertise with a practical, client-focused approach, which makes them a reliable partner for complex IP matters."

"They are highly time-oriented, consistently meeting deadlines and providing prompt, efficient support throughout the filing and prosecution process. Their responsiveness and attention to timing make the workflow smooth and reliable."

"They are highly business-focused, providing practical and commercially oriented advice that aligns well with our strategic objectives. Their guidance is clear, actionable, and tailored to support sound business decisions."

Gertjan Kuipers

"Gertjan Kuipers is a truly stellar lawyer, distinguished by his exceptional professionalism, sharp analytical skills, and deep understanding of both the law and the business realities that drive our industry. He consistently excels in everything he undertakes, demonstrating rare versatility and unwavering commitment to excellence. His legal insight is matched by his ability to grasp the commercial context of every matter, making his guidance not only accurate but strategically invaluable."

"Gertjan is a stellar IP lawyer and an exceptional litigator who consistently combines deep legal expertise with a sharp understanding of his clients’ broader business objectives. He has a rare ability to quickly grasp highly complex scientific and technical concepts and translate them into clear, persuasive legal strategies, both in and out of the courtroom."

"He is very professional, providing clear guidance and consistently high-quality work."

Samantha Brinkhuis

"Samantha Brinkhuis is my trusted advisor; she is the partner leading the team and she ensures my questions are handled efficiently and promptly. I always communicate directly with her; she often provides assistance herself and whenever needed, she brings in the right team members to deliver swift and effective support. I really appreciate this level of efficiency."
