IT and IP
For many companies their know-how is crucial to their business model. That makes protecting company knowledge a key task in both operational and sales situations. At DAHL, we are aware of this and have made both these areas key focus points in our legal advice.
IT, e-commerce and telecommunications
Whether you work for a company or a public body, IT and
telecommunications are fundamental to day to day operations. That
means that the legal basis for the purchase and use of systems,
license agreements etc. is of great importance.
At DAHL, we are well aware of the commercial, technical and legal
issues you should be aware of when entering into an IT
agreement.
Proactive IT consultancy
We are familiar with the pitfalls typically associated
with the implementation of IT projects. That's why we provide
consultation relating to ongoing contract and project
management on large and complex IT agreements. We lay particular
weight on providing proactive legal advice in order
to help you avoid potential conflicts.
Amongst other things, we can help you formulate and enter into
agreements covering outsourcing, facility management, the purchase
of IT-systems, license agreements etc.
We also provide legal advice in relation to the legal
aspects of IT and E-business, including payment methods and
systems, digital signatures and Internet service offerings.
Intellectual property
IP rights are extremely important to many companies.
Our experienced intellectual property experts can advice you of the
best way to optimise the process of registering your trademarks,
designs and utility models.
Our focus is firmly on both procedural and strategic
considerations. But we also work to further the long term goal of
value generation through improvements to your company's rights
portfolio.
In-depth sector knowledge
We have detailed sector knowledge, and our clients include
companies in the textiles, furniture and design segments. That
means we have wide experience in providing product development
consultancy in relation to existing rights and the protection of
products that have completed the development process.
In addition, we're able to help with the implementation and use of
rights in your company. This includes, for example, marketing
materials and websites. We also provide branding strategy
consultancy with particular focus on name selection and
distinguishing features.
International partnerships
In order to be able to provide the fastest possible access
to information about existing rights etc. we work closely with
public bodies and database providers around the world.
We work with long-term partners in a number of countries of
particular importance to Danish business interests, meaning that we
can provide consultancy services you can rely on at attractive
rates no matter which market you wish to protect or enforce your
rights in.
Agreements with third-parties
At DAHL, we benefit from wide experience in agreements
between rights holders and third-parties. This includes the use of
intellectual property rights in license agreements, distribution
agreements and other forms of agreements where your company wishes
to make use of the intellectual property of others or wishes to
make your intellectual property available to third parties.
Protecting copyright
The commercial exploitation and protection of copyright is
also an area in which we provide legal advice, including how
to protect company copyright when entering into franchise,
dealer and distributor agreements, license agreements or strategic
partnerships relating to rights-based products.
DAHL also provides assistance in the event of conflicts or legal
actions relating to infringements of trademarks, designs,
counterfeiting, patents, marketing legislation and Internet-related
issues.
