Immaterielle rettigheder stimulerer innovation og opbygning af virksomheds- og produktidentiteter. Plesner har Danmarks førende team, der rådgiver, når kritiske rettigheder er på spil, og når effektiv markedsføring skal navigeres gennem regulatoriske krydsfelter.

Innovation er en grundforudsætning for konkurrencedygtighed og samfundsøkonomisk vækst. Immaterielle rettigheder sikrer, at der både er et incitament og økonomisk fundament for at investere i udviklingen. Balancen mellem eneret og fri konkurrence er kompleks. Udvikleren skal belønnes for sit bidrag til fællesskabet, men det er i en markedsøkonomi også vigtigt, at andre end udvikleren selv får rimelig adgang til at gøre brug af ny viden og teknologi. 

Immaterielle rettigheder handler også om kommunikation og genkendelighed. De danner rammen for at opbygge en virksomhedsidentitet og forhindre andre i at snylte på de forventninger til virksomheden og dens produkter, som den har investeret i at opbygge. 

Kommunikation til kunder og mellem konkurrenter er i sig selv underlagt komplicerede regelsæt, som det er vigtigt at kunne afkode for at markedsføre og positionere sig effektivt. Kommunikationen er ofte en forudsætning for succes.

Det gælder også, når produkterne i sig selv er komplekse, hvilket ikke mindst gør sig gældende for både lægemidler og den øvrige life science-industri. Her pålægges virksomheder yderligere regulatoriske krav og begrænsninger i deres kommunikation, som det er kritisk at kunne navigere i.

I Plesners team for IP, Life Science og Markedsføringsret har vi det privilegium at bistå store og mellemstore virksomheder på de mest komplekse rådgivningsopgaver og tvister. Gennem langvarige og tillidsfulde relationer til vores klienter har vi en indgående forståelse for vores klienters kommercielle virkelighed. Vi fører retssager ved alle de danske domstole samt ved EU-Domstolen og bistår tillige vores klienter med administrativ håndtering af deres rettigheder samt med indgåelse af aftaler herom.
