About me

Partner, IP Lawyer, EU Trademark and Design Attorney

I have over 20 years of diverse experience as an IP lawyer, particularly in managing trademark and domain matters. I assist our clients in all stages of the trademark and domain life cycle, from the brand selection process to IP enforcement.

I have an extensive experience in settling trademark disputes both amicably and in various courts of law in Finland and elsewhere in Europe. Further to IP prosecution, I have also been involved in several challenging assignments related to IP agreements as well as copyright issues. I am actively involved in IP organizations and frequently feature as an expert in related media and events in Finland and abroad. In particular,  I have attended INTA and FICPI activities and committees for several years.
