de Rassenfosse graduated in 2006 as an Ingénieur de gestion from Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management at Université libre de Bruxelles. He subsequently joined Bruno van Pottelsberghe to pursue a PhD in economics at Université libre de Bruxelles. [3] In his PhD thesis he was able to provide empirical evidence on the price elasticity of the demand for patents.

His laboratory has documented the discrimination against foreigners in the patent system [9] [10] and has engaged in the production of open source data. [11] [12]
The laboratory's research was featured in various news outlets such as RTS, [13] Le Temps, [14] WBI, [15] and Swissinfo. [16]
