Mirjam de Werd

Managing Partner

Mirjam has been working in the IP profession since 2002. She started at a trademark agency and then moved into the industry. Mirjam spent 7 years working in-house at Danone where her IP portfolio was mainly focused on AsiaPacific. She then spent 2 years working as in-house IP Legal Counsel at a new TV station in Hilversum. This allowed her to expand her knowledge in the field of IP in the media. Mirjam has always had the itch to get started as a trademark attorney and to be able to use her knowledge gained in the industry for this purpose. In 2015, she completed the BBMM training. She is also the president of Marques’ China Team. Since 2017, she has been working as a trademark attorney at Abcor.

Besides her work, Mirjam is mother of her son Hugo with whom she does as many fun things as possible in her free time, such as going to the beach, traveling, visiting zoos, cinema, etc. She is also crazy about bags and shoes (especially sneakers) of which she has already built up quite a collection.

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.
