About
Provided by Bird & Bird
Type of work handled: Multijurisdictional IP expertise has separated us from local competitors throughout history, and more clients are turning to us thanks to our international IP expertise. Given that no other international law firms in Finland match Bird & Bird’s reputation in IP, we are exceptionally well-placed to advise clients on Unified Patent Court (UPC) issues, regularly advising clients of other Bird & Bird offices on national law matters.
Categories of clients: Our notable Finnish clients include Glaston Corporation, Eezy Group, Valoo, Monster Energy, Tempur Sealy, Isojoen Konehalli, Holiday Club Resorts, Elo Mutual Pension Insurance Company, and Swappie.
Recent work highlights: In copyright matters, we have advised Finnish media group MTV in a significant competition/copyright dispute against Teosto, the Finnish music copyright organization. This case, involving multiple legal proceedings, questions whether Teosto has abused its dominant market position by charging unreasonably high copyright fees. The case was recognized by Managing IP as the impact case of 2023.
Specialisations: Our growing trademarks practice is recognized for strategic brand reforms and an increase in trademark and unfair business practice disputes. Additionally, we are known for our expertise in IP-intensive agreements and intellectual property risk assessments, investigations, and guidelines.
