We protect our clients’ ideas, products, brands and technology by advising them on all aspects of IP, marketing and media law. Our team is skilled in both contentious and non-contentious IP and handles all forms of contracts, transactions and disputes.

We assist with all types of contracts in the area – including drafting and negotiating complicated licensing and research and development agreements, along with other types of cooperation agreement. Our experience includes various kinds of IP and marketing disputes and acting as counsel before the Swedish Patent and Market courts.

We are fully integrated with the firm’s other specialist groups and work closely with the M&A practice on transactions where IP is the target’s most valuable asset, including for some of the world’s most sophisticated companies within life sciences, tech, media and manufacturing.

In contentious matters, we represent clients in litigation and arbitration with respect to patents, trademarks, copyrights and design rights. We also represent clients in trademark opposition proceedings before the Swedish Patent and Registration Office and the EU Intellectual Property Office.

As with all the firm’s mandates, much of the work we do is international, and we have close relationships with law firms around the world that are leaders in IP, marketing and media law, and regularly coordinate international projects.
