Loeven Law Firm

IP Litigation · Denmark

Loeven is a Danish legal advisory, owned and managed by attorneys with long-standing experience from the largest and most prominent Danish law firms.

Our vision is to be a strong and lean law firm that provides legal advice of the highest quality within all our focus areas. These areas primarily consist of: Corporate/M&A, IP, IT & Technology, Litigation, Media & Entertainment, as well as Life Sciences.

Loeven is domiciled in Frederiksgade in the heart of Copenhagen, just a few steps from the Marble Church and Amalienborg Palace, the winter residence of the Danish royal family. The name Loeven illustrates our connection to Copenhagen and Denmark; thus, lions are a prominent part of both the Copenhagen Coat of Arms and the National Coat of Arms of Denmark.

Within the field of IP, Loeven assists clients with matters of design law, copyright, patents and trademarks, as well as in such related areas as trade secrets law, marketing law and portrait/personality law.

The lawyers in the IP team have considerable experience in these areas – for example, in relation to licensing and assignment agreements, in addition to M&A transactions.

Regarding dispute resolution, we have conducted a significant number of legal proceedings, including preliminary injunction proceedings before the Maritime and Commercial Court, the High Courts and the Supreme Court, as well as before Danish and international arbitration tribunals.
