I Help Innovation Leaders Level Up Their Digital Patents

Here are three ways I can help you:

#1. Free Insights

I widely share expert insights on digital patents, software patents, AI patents, and the use of AI for patent attorneys. Watch my videos on YouTube and connect with me on LinkedIn to stay updated:

Patent managers, attorneys, and startup founders turn to me when it’s time to patent a digital innovation. If you need support, I’m here to help. Common scenarios include:

  • “Bastian, this invention disclosure form has me puzzled. The inventors are talking about digital twins and neural networks. Can you draft the patent application?”
  • “Bastian, the EPO’s search report includes serious objections. The examiner says it’s just a non-technical business method on a standard computer. Can you take over?”
  • “Bastian, we’re pitching our startup to investors and want to be ‘patent pending’. Can you help?”

Need expert guidance on your most challenging digital patent issues? Reach out.

#3. Speaking

I speak around 10 times per year on patents for software, algorithms, computer science, digital business models, and other topics the EPO often views as barely technical. If you’re planning an event, I can craft a compelling and insightful presentation tailored exactly to your audience.

Hi 👋 I’m Bastian Best

A computer enthusiast and hobby programmer at heart, I pursued a degree in computer science and began my career in the automotive industry. However, I quickly realized my passion lay in protecting innovations rather than creating them. This led me to become a patent attorney, where I advanced to salary partner at one of Europe’s most successful IP firms. Today, I run my own firm, BESTPATENT, dedicated exclusively to patents shaping the digital future.

  • European and German Patent Attorney, UPC Representative
  • Master’s Degree in Computer Science (Dipl.-Inf.)
  • 15+ years of experience drafting, prosecuting, and litigating software patents
  • Lecturer on digital patents at ETH Zurich and CEIPI IP Business Academy
