Intellectual Property
The strategic and economic significance of intellectual property rights (IP) has grown exponentially over the past few decades. For many companies, IP is today one of the most important assets. The need to protect clients' intellectual property rights is therefore steadily increasing.

We represent many owners of large brands in relation to securing and protecting trademarks and designs both nationally and internationally. We are involved in the preparation and negotiation of agreements of a commercial nature in relation to the exploitation and protection of intellectual property rights in Denmark and internationally.
