Your IP experts in Norway

We’ve assisted clients with IP issues for more than six decades, and we have about 60 people at your service. This unique team of IP experts includes more than 50 patent attorneys and attorneys at law – most of whom joined us after successful careers in corporate, in-house IP departments or at the Norwegian Patent Office (NIPO). All our attorneys have sector or technical specialization.

Together, all of these facts bring three, distinct advantages:

• We understand the challenges in-house lawyers face, how you think but also what you need from a specialist firm like ours, especially in terms of quality, speed and cost
• We have unrivaled knowledge of Norwegian IP legislation and practice
• We are experts at knowing what to do in periods of ambiguity, when the courts are still undecided. Added-value outcomes have become our stock-in-trade.

Some clients regard us as generalists; we regularly handle all IP legal matters. Others hire us as specialists, whether be in trademarks, design or patents.

Some want deep, industry sector experience or technical knowledge. This is another Onsagers strength, because we employ more technical PhDs than any other IP law firm in Norway.

Acapo Onsagers has extensive knowledge of all industries found at scale in Norway, but in particular pharmaceutical, bio-tech and maritime shipping.

Whether you are looking for IP specialists, generalists, with industry experience or technical knowledge, all Acapo Onsagers clients benefit from clear-cut, pragmatic advice and a personal, ‘hands-on’ approach to managing cases.
