Intellectual Property Rights

Global trade is increasingly interconnecting the world economy, making it increasingly important for Norwegian businesses to protect their IPR as well as other property, even across borders.

We assist our clients in developing IPR strategies for their rights to optimize the value of their rights. In addition to assist in registering trademarks, designs, patents, domains names and company names, we provide assistance in managing, administering, and enforcing these rights.
