He has inspired and implemented several major procedural and legal changes in the framework of the European Patent Convention and the Patent Cooperation Treaty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Alfred graduated in electromechanical engineering from the \u201c\u00c9cole Nationale d\u2019Ing\u00e9nieurs de Metz\u201d in 1985 and in IP law from the \u201cCentre d\u2019\u00c9tude International de la Propri\u00e9t\u00e9 Intellectuelle\u201d in 1995 before passing the European Qualifying examination in 1996.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Alfred started his career in industrial property as a patent engineer in the industry in the field of agricultural machinery. In 1987, he joined the European Patent Office in The Hague as a patent examiner. In 1990, he transferred to Munich, where he worked his way up to the position of chairman in opposition division and treated numerous opposition cases mostly concluded in oral proceedings. In parallel, he was involved in advanced training for examiners and patent attorneys, in the marking Committee of the European Qualifying Examination and he acted as a patent practice adviser for the EPO senior management, in particular in the PCT area. In the early 2000s, he was one of the EPO representatives actively involved in the PCT reform with WIPO and the other International Authorities. In 2004, he was appointed director in The Hague, where he managed around 30 examiners in the field of applied physic and semiconductor technology.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 2008, Alfred was appointed director of the Patent Procedures Management Department.

He operates mainly in the technical fields of electrical and mechanical engineering and applied physic. He is fluent in English, French, German and Italian. Thanks to his unique insight into the PCT and European patent systems, Alfred develops and implements innovative and cost-effective business models for strengthening the global patent protection
