What to Do With Those Algorithm Inventions?
Your patent attorney reliably handles your company’s core inventions. But lately, the invention disclosures landing on your desk look different. They describe AI-powered simulations, complex digital business models, and digital twins in the cloud. These aren’t your normal inventions, and you wonder how to access the specialized expertise needed to protect them.

Hi 👋 I’m Bastian Best
A computer nerd at heart, I pursued a degree in computer science and began my career in the automotive industry.

After a decade in one of Europe’s most successful IP firms, it was time for me to start my own firm with a laser focus on software and AI patents and a purely digital workflow.
