The “extremely skilled and service-minded” Advokatfirmaet BAHR AS is dedicated to being a leading example of one-of-a-kind legal provision across all cutting-edge IP matters. Esteemed patent litigator Eirik Basmo Ellingsen serves as both head of the firm’s IP practice and deputy head of its technology practice. A seasoned specialist on contentious matters, he boasts an impressive dossier of high-profile clientele domestically and internationally, having represented the likes of Novartis and AstraZeneca. His intimate knowledge of IP law and out-of-the-box thinking has also scored him a place as lead litigation counsel in patent cases for Biogen before the national courts. Heavyweight litigators Anja Stensrud Elverum and Gunnar Sørlie embody the group’s manifesto of IP excellence across the tech and life sciences spaces. Recently they have represented Bristol-Myers Squibb on a high-profile patent litigation pertaining to a patent validity for one of Norway’s most lucrative drugs, Eliquis. Not only were Elverum and Sørlie able to secure a victory for the client, but they also set an important precedent in Norwegian patent law.
