Marieke Westgeest is the managing director of a brand and design agency. She founded this agency and has developed it into an internationally recognized firm with 8 employees, mainly lawyers, over the course of ten years. Marieke is accustomed to speaking in both Dutch and English, domestically and internationally (from Japan to Argentina, from Portugal to the United States, etc.), and is also available as a moderator. Marieke Westgeest is capable of delivering vivid presentations with many interactive examples and visual materials. She enjoys discussing developments in trademark law and their impact on daily life. Everyone knows an example of a company that had to change its name due to a conflict. Or has read in the newspaper that the interior of the Apple store is protected. How is this possible? How can you encounter this yourself and what should you do to prevent problems? She also speaks about entrepreneurship in general, international business in particular, and what it is like to establish and grow a business as a woman alongside motherhood. These are certainly inspiring stories for (female) entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
