BAHR – where experience meets creativity
At BAHR we understand that technological change often outpaces the legal framework designed to deal with it. Nonetheless, innovations still need to be protected, transactions to be completed. It takes a special kind of creativity to grasp the implications of technological changes and adapt existing law to them.
We have that creativity. BAHR recruits innovative minds and applies them to challenging assignments. So it is no surprise that we have played a key role in many of the largest, most complex disputes, projects and transactions of recent years, such as:
- Successfully represented Ewos AS, a manufacturer of feed for the fish farming industry, in a complex patent and trade secret litigation spanning over several years.
- Representing Bayer in a patent invalidity action relating to Bayer’s global blockbuster drug Xarelto.
- Assisting Kiona and its shareholders, led by Summa Equity, Byggteknikk and Pivot Invest, in connection with the sale of approximately 82.4% of the shares in the company to Carel Industries. The transaction is valued at NOK 2.35 billion.
- Assisting Working Group Two and its shareholders led by Telenor, one of the world’s largest mobile telecommunications companies, and Digital Alpha, a leading digital infrastructure investment firm, in connection with the sale of 100% of the shares in Working Group Two to global communications technology company Cisco.
Recognised as a leader in intellectual property work, we frequently represent major pharmaceuticals originators in cutting-edge patent disputes. We handle all aspects of key IP and technology-related transactions and agreements, from licensing to M&A, IT/software procurement and development, as well as a range of regulatory matters, IP protection and enforcement strategies, unfair competition, marketing law, distribution and agency advice, and everything else hi-tech companies and patent holders require.
