“The GEVERS team has demonstrated in-depth analysis, advanced scientific understanding and great responsiveness in order to obtain patent protection for the algorithmic processes used in our fall detection and prevention system for the elderly at the Belgian, European and international levels. I can only recommend this very professional and rigorous team.”

“GEVERS was with us even before the creation of our company WaToo. We were able to take advantage of their expertise to protect our innovations through patents related to the digital watermarking of databases, filed with ITM Atlantic. They guided us through the various stages that led to the extension of the patents in Europe and the USA. They have always been reactive, with a real strength of proposal that has enabled us to successfully respond to the examiners’ requests, which has saved us a lot of time and anxiety. The choice to rely on patents is justified by the fact that they offer us a greater competitive advantage in a sector where we are truly pioneers, while increasing the credibility and value of our company.”
Javier Franco-Contreras
Director and Inventor of WaToo
“For more than two years, Neuroclues has been collaborating with GEVERS to help us navigate through various IP processes, for protecting not only our software developments but also our medical devices. Through good listening and efficient communication, the GEVERS teams quickly gained a good understanding of the complexity of our products. As such, GEVERS was also able to advise us strategically on our patent and design applications before various relevant offices. We are pleased with this cooperation and look forward to continuing it.”

“As the founder of a medtech startup, I highly recommend GEVERS & Orès as an intellectual property consultant. With their expert guidance, I was able to obtain a patent for my product successfully. But their value went beyond just the patent process – their counsel helped me better understand my product and its unique value proposition. GEVERS & Orès understands startups’ challenges, especially in their early stages. Choosing the right IP consultant is critical, as it is a long-term relationship that can have a major impact on your company’s success. I am grateful for their partnership and highly recommend their services.”

“Since 2021 GEVERS & Orès has been supporting the Neuillylab startups on their Intellectual Property issues. This support takes the form of extremely educational workshops and consultations that allow our start-ups to address the subject of IP individually. In addition to their competence, the GEVERS & Orès teams demonstrate a professionalism, commitment and creativity that are of great value to Neuillylab and its startups. The sympathy and benevolence of our interlocutors also contribute to the success of our partnership and to the pleasure we have in working with GEVERS & Orès.”

“Thanks GEVERS for the wonderful teamwork in navigating the patenting process in the EU and USA, and helping us achieve our first USA patent award for CicaLux plus two other patents in the USA and Europe! We have enjoyed working with you over the last 5 years and look forward to more patents in process!”
Michel Alvarez
CEO & Inventor of CicaLux
“Since more than 50 years all trademark protection on Smurfs is handled by GEVERS and since 13 years now the GEVERS COFA department takes care of our actions against infringers. We are more than satisfied about this collaboration, interventions are taken very fast and very efficiently. The infringements stop and the COFA team obtains very often financial compensation for us covering more than the actual costs we invest. For IP owners it is a great relief to have entrusted all actions against infringers to the great professionals of the GEVERS COFA team. Thank you COFA team!”
Brigitte Ickmans
CEO at IMPS Smurfs
“Albéa called upon GEVERS & Orès for the secondment of a patent analyst for one day per month. The mission entrusted was to carry out prior art searches. Thanks to the proximity allowed by the secondment, the patent analyst worked closely with the patent engineers and the R&D teams of Albéa. The results obtained allowed the patent engineers to position themselves with the management during the innovation project steering meetings. This secondment experience strengthened the links between Albéa and GEVERS & Orès, notably through a better knowledge of our technical fields and our working methods. Albéa took advantage of the secondment to carry out prior art research on upstream projects and thus save time during developments. The secondment was beneficial.”
Guillaume Mouraret
Group Industrial Property Manager – Albéa
“The Safran group called on the firm GEVERS & Orès (1 day/week) to promote better mutual knowledge of our work processes. The integration within the Safran team was a success for the follow-up of the files internally and the relations with the inventors. GEVERS & Orès has improved its knowledge of Safran’s technical fields. In the end, each day of presence allowed us to process an invention up to the eventual filing of a patent application. We are delighted with this cooperation and are ready to repeat the experience if necessary.”

“We are happy to see that GEVERS’ proactive and pragmatic actions
taken against parallel importers have shown positive and immediate
results – this strategy is shaping the approach of the market towards
intellectual property, and in particular, parallel import, and raising
awareness of the importance of using only legitimate sources when it
comes to HARMAN products, among customs, distributors and
consumers.”
Daniel Plewa
Operational Security Specialist at HARMAN
“Brands are the most valuable assets of a company. Protection of
intellectual property rights requires a robust and constant enforcement
plan covering both counterfeiting and parallel import issues. Because of
the lack of knowledge about parallel import among resellers and
consumers, this issue needed a particular approach which HARMAN
could develop and action in Europe with the expertise of GEVERS’
COFA team in Belgium; the team has the knowledge, the skills and the
tools.”
