Philippe Laurent graduated from the Universities of Namur (Candidature) and Louvain-La-Neuve (Licence).

Philippe works in the Intellectual Property Department of the CRID since 2003. His first assignment consisted of drafting general information on Intellectual Property rights and assisting European companies, entities and citizens through a legal helpline in the framework of the IPR-Helpdesk, a project financed by the European Commission. At the same time, Philippe started participating in the Creative Commons Belgium project.
In 2004, Philippe contributed in the writing of the first book providing a global legal analysis of open source licensing under Belgian law, which was published the next year. At the same period, he became part of the experts' team that assists the European Commission on the legal aspects of the EUPL licence. He co-authored several studies on that matter.
Philippe received in 2005 a one year internal funding (from the Fond Spécial de Recherche of the University of Namur) in order to study the Copyright related issues pertaining to E-Learning practices. He then worked for two years as a teaching assistant in IP Law and Property Law (firstly working simultaneously on the IRMA project) starting as from September 2006.
In September 2008, he joined the new CELLaVI Initiative, a project financed by the Walloon region in order to develop a FLOSS (Free Libre Open Source Software) expertise centre.
His work on a PhD thesis about Intellectual Property licensing is ongoing.
Besides his research activities, Philippe Laurent is member of the Brussels Bar since 2003. He is Attorney at Law in the law firm Marx Van Ranst Vermeersch & Partners, where he advises businesses on Intellectual Property, Information Technologies and Commercial Law matters.
