Louis Keijzer passes BBMM exam with flying colours

In January, the final oral exams were held as part of the Professional Training of Benelux Trademark and Design Attorneys. This exam marks the culmination of the two-year course. This year, 15 candidates from Belgium and the Netherlands were examined. Our colleague Louis Keijzer did particularly well. Both Louis and Abcor are extremely proud that he passed this practical exam as the best Dutchman.

Acquiring this diploma is an essential condition for obtaining the BMM certification mark. The Benelux Foundation for the Professional Training of Trademark and Design Attorneys (BBMM) is responsible for providing this two-year training. Admission to the course is limited to candidates with sufficient relevant work experience.

The first year of the study emphasizes mainly theoretical aspects, while the second year focuses increasingly on practical skills. Both years conclude with an exam, which candidates must pass. Upon successful completion of the exam, candidates with at least three years of relevant work experience can apply for the BMM certification mark, provided they also have sufficient demonstrable work experience. Passing this exam makes Louis the 5th European Trademark Attorney at Abcor.

About Abcor

Abcor specializes in applying for trademark and design rights. We do this worldwide for both SMEs and international companies, but often everything starts with an initial Benelux application. Our aim is to relieve the client of all the worries, which is why we take care of all the steps, from initial advice on what to apply for and how, right through to registration.

In addition to applying for trademarks, we also manage portfolios for our clients. We ensure that trademarks are renewed on time, that the right organizations are paid (given the many fraudulent companies), and we support our clients on issues.

In addition, we are sparring partners for our customers on new products and how to shape and claim new ideas.
