Law

Typical entrepreneurs and their businesses often complete a number of consecutive phases in the development and commercialisation of their ideas. In parallel with the protection of the ideas through, for example, patent or design protection, entrepreneurs - regardless of the size of their companies - often have to evaluate, model, negotiate and enter into various forms of working relationships and agreements.

These may have to do with founding limited companies and company law, consortium agreements between joint owners, joint ventures, agreements with financiers, as well as more-or-less far-reaching measures regarding the development of prototypes, production capacity, logistics and distribution. At a certain point, marketing and sales become important, and it is here that questions arise concerning trademarks, agent agreements, franchising or licensing. Worries often also arise with regard to the risk of ideas being stolen or cheating, in the form of pirate copying and counterfeiting, for example.

Brann therefore has spearhead legal competences in the fields of corporate law, IT law and various forms of commercial agreements as a supplement to the company's consultancy services in the registration and monitoring of trademarks, patents and designs. If the situation becomes really messy, the entrepreneur may require competent support in arbitration outside - or legal proceedings in - the courts. In such situations, too, we can naturally help with corporate law considerations and opinions in negotiations. It would be sad if your brilliant business idea, built on good, full-coverage patents, should collapse like a house of cards because you have not considered - and protected your business in - other vital areas.
