Career

Jowi left Shell in December 2007 as Senior Legal Counsel IP after almost 30 years of service with the IP division of Shell with assignments in The Hague, Amsterdam and London.

During the past twenty years he gained extensive knowledge of drafting and negotiation of IP agreements and advising the businesses of Shell on complex IP matters. In his portfolio he dealt with, amongst others, innovation projects in the fields of refinery process and petrochemical process technologies and oil and gas exploration technologies.

Contract parties were other oil and petrochemical companies, technology licensors, engineering contractors, small and medium sized innovative companies, research organisations and universities.

The first ten years, from 1977 until 1986, he handled patent matters as patent attorney. During that period he was employed for almost a year (1980/81) by the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research TNO where he helped to commercialise the knowledge and technology generated by this research organisation.
