At Horten, we have kept abreast of the development and, today, we have one of the largest and most specialised IP teams advising companies within all areas of IP, including regulatory advice where relevant. We have advised Danish and foreign companies and authorities on IP through many years and have thus gained insight into various industries and sectors as well as the commercial reality and challenges facing companies. We offer our in-depth IP expertise and experience within specific legal disciplines such as patents, trademarks, design, parallel imports and copyright.
We are among the law firms with the most experience in IP litigation. Through the years, we have conducted many cases - often high-profile cases of general public importance - before all courts, including the European Court of Justice, as an advisor to Danish and foreign companies. As mentioned, our IP advice is not restricted to pure legal advice, but involves also a strategic and commercial angle with high standards of integrity and creative thinking. Our IP experts' detailed knowledge of regulatory affairs and in-depth insight into industries in which intellectual property law plays an important role include e.g. Life Science & Healthcare (including pharmaceuticals, medico, biotech and foods), Media & Entertainment as well as IT.
