Andreas provides advice on using Intellectual Property (IP) as a tool to help companies strengthen their existing business strategy to achieve their strategic goals. This is done by ensuring companies control and ownership of their own value chain in a knowledge-based society. He is concerned that companies, in addition to recordable intellectual assets (IPR), should also develop other aspects of intellectual assets, such as trade secrets, into documented values ​​for the company.

Through that experience, he has good knowledge in most aspects of IP, such as setting up IP management systems to identify new ideas and technologies developed in the company, routines for communicating with external advisors, preparing for litigation, and dealing with Due-Dilligence processes against large OEMs. He can thus customize his services to meet different needs and frameworks.
