About Us

Menno Treffers

Treffers Alliance Management (TreffersAM) works with late stage startups to develop license programs for their products, technology or IPR.

Some products need a standardized interface to increase the product’s attractiveness. TreffersAM works with the business owners to determine what the best governance model is for creating the interface standard. TreffersAM may also facilitate the negotiations with potential standardization partners, and can lead the standardization process.

Menno Treffers facilitated the negotiations between the companies that founded the Wireless Power Consortium and managed the consortium from 2008 until 2021.

Menno facilitated the negotiations between the companies that founded the Zhaga Consortium and managed the consortium from 2010 to 2014.

At Koninklijke Philips he developed the VEEZA patent license program for CD-R discs and contributed to the creation of various industry standards, such as Super Audio CD and Blu-ray Disc.

Menno Treffers received a PhD in physics from Leiden University in The Netherlands.
