Dr.-Ing. Dominik Heeschen
Patentanwalt, European Patent Attorney | Heeschen Pültz Patentanwälte
Dr. Dominik Heeschen is a patent attorney and has been working in intellectual property since 2015. His technical and legal advisory work focuses on technology-driven IP strategies, in particular in the fields of mechanical engineering, production technology, software-based logistics solutions, intralogistics, and security- and defense-related technologies.
From 2004 to 2010, Dr. Heeschen studied mechanical engineering and business administration in Hamburg, Aachen, and Beijing. He then completed his doctorate at RWTH Aachen University from 2010 to 2015 in the field of production technology. Since 2015, he has been working in intellectual property, initially for four years at a major law firm and, since 2019, in his own law firm.
A particular focus of his work is the patent-related support of technical developments at the interface of mechanics, automation, and software. This includes, in particular, solutions for logistics providers, intralogistics systems, transport and handling technology, and software-based methods for controlling, monitoring, and optimizing logistics processes.
In addition, Dr. Heeschen advises clients in the fields of defense and security-related space technologies, in particular on IP rights relating to space-based object monitoring, satellite-based sensor systems, and the detection, tracking, and characterization of objects in orbit.
Dr. Heeschen combines his technical education and doctorate in production technology with many years of experience in intellectual property. His work focuses on drafting and strategically supporting IP rights for technically complex developments.
LogTech Stage
From Startup to Operational Scenario: Innovations for Civil and Military Logistics
Geopolitical tensions, cyber risks, and volatile markets make it clear that resilience is no longer achievable without rapid technology adoption. The panel will highlight dual-use applications that can have an impact in both civilian logistics and the Bundeswehr ecosystem, and how startups, research institutions, and established providers can work together to move from pilot projects to full-scale implementation. The panelists will also address legal guidelines in a practical manner. In a discussion among various experts, specific use cases, suitable partnership paths, and next steps will be explored to provide impetus and highlight opportunities for piloting innovations in a legally compliant manner and rapidly transitioning them into robust, mission-ready logistics processes.
