Towards a stronger portfolio

For several years, we have advised IKH in managing and developing its trademark portfolio and the related trademark prosecution, enforcement and other trademark matters. In addition, we recently conducted in-depth legal analyses of the client’s key brands and held a number of trademark workshops to client’s top management to discuss the status and development of said brands.

Practical support and strategic advice

Milka Pääkkönen, Development Manager, IKH said: "We import a range of almost 60,000 items under numerous brands from 30 countries and managing such a portfolio is not the easiest of tasks from a trademark perspective. Bird & Bird has helped us to manage our brand portfolio and to protect our key trademarks more effectively with a professional and business minded acumen."

Henri Kaikkonen, Partner, Head of IP (Finland), Bird & Bird said: "We are very glad to act as IKH’s trusted advisor in trademark matters. IKH is justifiably proud of its brands, and it is truly inspiring to see how passionately IKH is willing to take their trademark portfolio management to the next level.”
