Patents

Obtaining patent positions and enforcing, protecting and commercialising patent rights is vitally important to all life science businesses.

Our expertise

Kromann Reumert’s IP group ranks among the leading specialists in Denmark, handling numerous court proceedings concerning the enforcement of patents (infringements or disputes over validity) in the pharmaceuticals and
biotech areas and also advises on strategic issues in relation to patent enforcement and patent positions.

We also conduct a large number of important court or arbitration proceedings about ownership of life science inventions, including inventions resulting from R&D cooperation.

Network of foreign connections

Patent enforcement in the life science area is frequently multi-jurisdictional. In such cases we form or join international litigation teams, drawing on an extensive network of foreign connections.

We also frequently assist in patent due diligence and freedom-to-operate analyses, e.g. in connection with procurement of capital, stock exchange listing, or business transfers.
