For more than 20 years, I have been helping companies in various industries to protect and capitalize on their ideas with patents and designs. As a partner and European patent and design attorney at Budde Schou A/S, I advise clients on all aspects of using intellectual property rights as one of their commercial assets, from strategy and support to drafting and prosecution, oppositions, litigation, transactions, and infringement evaluations.My expertise lies in the areas of software, electronics, and mechanics, where I have extensive experience in creating and securing strong patent and design rights that are hard for competitors to design around. I also have a special focus and experience in communicating and translating the complex world of IPR to information useable by my clients for making decisions. I am driven by helping my clients improve their market position and achieve their business goals with patent activities. I also give lectures for both private companies and universities on IPR issues, mainly focusing on the strategic and practical aspects of patent and design protection.
