SANDS, Intellectual Property | Chambers Europe Profile

About

Provided by SANDS

SANDS is one of Norway’s leading practices in intellectual property rights (IPR) – in other words, protection of rights to patents, trademarks, designs and copyrights. Large parts of companies’ assets lie in intellectual property rights. Nevertheless, awareness of this is often deficient. SANDS assists all industries where innovation is involved. Our lawyers have many years of experience from the Norwegian Industrial Property Office and advisory groups. We draft all pertinent agreements concerning the management of rights in order to maximise commercial use.
