Hello!
I'm Wendy Teunissen, an energetic and pragmatic experienced patent attorney with a team player mentality.
"I am passionate about bridging the gap between technical and legal"
Working with me means that your IP becomes less of a worry and more the valuable asset it is for your business.
Getting your IP in good shape and your team well-trained help secure your next investment round too.
To work together efficiently and effectively, we first meet to see where you stand, what your ambitions are, how you may improve your IP rights in the current technology readiness level (TRL) you are in, in line with your priorities. Together, we can identify what actions need to be taken when and by whom.
Contact me and I will help you craft your IP.
Intellectual Property has many rights, and defining and using those rights in a way that suits the business is complicated.
It needs attention, and years of experience, to understanding how it needs to be managed.
How can I help your company?
Turn intangible into investable
IP strategy
Having an IP strategy is key to extract full value out of your IP. But what makes a good IP strategy? What is needed at what TRL? And what needs protection and what doesn’t? I can support your company crafting an IP strategy, complemented with what IP actions are required in a longer time frame to obtain the required results – a roadmap to follow. The ISO norms for IP management are being taken into account such that quality is demonstrable.

IP Management
I can do much of the legwork, organize internal meetings and advise on what needs to be done by who in house or with the help of external IP providers.
I have a well established network and can help you find the right people as and when needed. If required I draft an IP manual based on the ISO norms for IP management
"I am keen to help small companies deliver the IP they need to further innovate and grow."
IP service for investors
I help investors to reduce the uncertainty of the IP risk and to increase the awareness of the potential IP value, even when not yet apparent to the investee possibly.
I can perform an IP due diligence and check whether your investee has proper IP management in place. Are their crown jewels well protected? Is their brand registered? Do they know how to protect their trade secrets? Are they free to offer their technology to the market? This enables you make a well-informed investment decision.

Maartje van der Sande
CEO Circular Rubber Technologies Inc.
“Level IP’s ambition to provide made-to measure advice to starting enterprises on matters relating to Intellectual Property is much needed. It is our experience that IP is not well understood nor properly managed. It is here that Level IP can provide tailored advice needed at each point during the maturation path of the startup. From working with Wendy, we know she will offer thoughtful professional advice that builds on her background in chemistry as well as on her broad experience in patenting, IP-management, IP strategy, and process-technology licensing. Level IP is the one-stop-shop when IP matters.”
