Intellectual Property

Your intellectual property is what matters to us. Our dedicated litigation team understands the need to retain the freedom to operate and obtain the best possible outcome under the circumstances of each case. To achieve your business goals, we suggest litigation and settlement strategies that may consist of obtaining a fast interim injunction or other relief, settlement negotiations to resolve the case out of court and before trial, or creative but thorough tactics for litigation or arbitration.

We were the first Finnish law firm before the Helsinki Local Division of the Unified Patent Court (UPC) and the Court of Appeal of the UPC. We represent clients before Finnish authorities and courts, the European Union Intellectual Property Office, and the Court of Justice of the European Union. In arbitration, we represent clients in international arbitration institutes, such as the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center, in addition to Finnish and Swedish arbitration institutes.

In each case, we work closely with our Technology & Data, Dispute Resolution, Competition & Regulatory, and Public Procurement Practices.

We can advise you in all kinds of matters relating to life sciences, including groundbreaking and complex regulatory assignments that require an innovative approach and a broad knowledge of healthcare & life sciences.

The Finnish gambling landscape is undergoing a transformation, as one of the last monopolies in Finland, the national lottery company, ceases to exist as an exclusive gambling operator and is transformed into a competitor among the international players.

As to marketing, we provide advice on legal issues relating to marketing campaigns both online and offline, sales promotions and consumer competitions, and various matters relating to social media, online, and traditional media, and the related contractual and regulatory issues. We also handle consumer complaints and provide regulatory advice relating to marketing and consumer law. We can assist you in proceedings with local authorities and, if needed, participate in proceedings before local courts.

Where necessary, we take measures against unfair business practices by our clients’ competitors and advise in questions relating to packaging and labelling requirements, customer data, environmental, health, and green claims, and product liability and recalls.

As a local counsel to several international leading sports leagues, we are experienced in all kinds of sports law matters, whether they concern intellectual property, marketing, data, competition, or contracts.
