Experience
Recent highlights
  • Lykke acted for Kamstrup A/S on a matter involving infringement by a non-Danish manufacturer of the client’s patent. It was a complex cross-border matter, where the services of colleagues from DLA Piper Sweden were enlisted. 

  • Lykke acted for Nordisk Innovation initially on a case regarding the preservation of evidence and later on injunction proceedings against a competing enterprise. There were several related cases and the outcome was a tripartite settlement agreement to the great satisfaction of the client. 

  • Lykke acted for a private individual on a case regarding the preservation of evidence and injunction proceedings alleging contravention of the Danish Trade Secrets Act. Some of Denmark’s major players within water and drain products were involved and, in view of the nature of the case, its course was intensive, the case being completed within a month and a half.
