JMTC is a Dutch trademark IP company located in the centre of the Netherlands, started originally by Joep Mens early 2005.

Joep Mens has many years of worldwide experience in the field of clearing trademarks, prosecution of trademarks, trademark counseling, finding strategies for international trademark conflicts and negotiation of coexistence agreements.

He has supervised trademark portfolios of International companies such as Rabobank, Schiphol Airport, CSM N.V., Purac Biochem, Australian Homemade and Pearle Opticians. Since the introduction of the Community Trademark (CTM) in 1996 Joep Mens handled numerous CTM-opposition cases and other matters for foreign associates and local clients.

To make sure to have trademarks well protected in Europe you can therefore consider JMTC as your ‘European hub’ for trademarkmatters.
