Firm overview

Patrade is a full service IP Consultancy Firm. We are a highly specialised international law firm, advising our clients on issues related to intellectual property law, contract law, competition law, IT law and some aspects of company law.

We work with enforcement in all types of disputes related to intellectual property law or the Danish Marketing Act, including lawsuits, injunction and preservation of evidence cases, infringement cases, invalidity cases, parallel import, and anti-counterfeit cases. We take charge of negotiations in connection with contracts or disputes related to intellectual property rights, and we draft intellectual property contracts, such as license agreements, assignment agreements, IT contracts, techtrans agreements and distribution agreements.

We cover the full spectrum of services from application and registration of a right, such as a patent or a trademark, to potential infringement lawsuits and court rulings. This makes us a full-service consultancy firm and ensures that you need not engage any other advisers if you want to protect your rights. We have in-depth insight into your cases, and we offer both technical and legal expertise under one roof – saving you time and money.
