CHINESE INNOVATION TAKES THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MANKIND The Chinese company Envision Energy is one of the world’s leading wind turbine producers – offshore as well as onshore wind turbines.
Headquartered in Jiangyin near Shanghai, Envision Energy is located in the heart of China’s development centre of renewable energy. 65 per cent of all earnings in this district derive from the wind turbine industry.
In 2009, the ambition to also be present in the heart of the European wind turbine industry led Envision Energy to set up its Global Innovation Centre in Denmark.
The company wants to “take the responsibility for a sustainable future for mankind” and, thus, keeps a constant focus on technological innovations within smart and sustainable solutions to renewable energy.
Patrade is Envision Energy’s steady collaborator and IPR consultant when it comes to protecting the innovative products of the wind turbine company. Therefore, Patrade has an ongoing dialogue and discussion of strategic protection of the pioneering technology with the company’s experts.

WHEN OUTSOURCING OFFERS UNIQUE ADVANTAGES
The toilet seat giant Pressalit has outsourced its IPR work to Patrade in connection with a radical re-organization in this area. A new, more proactive effort is now made to protect the company’s rights.
Pressalit uses Patrade worldwide for watching services, evaluation of infringements and protection of IPR rights. The company’s acti-vities and needs are extensive. Mapping the extent of protection for Pressalit’s products, trade marks and designs is a puzzle requiring a high level of knowledge and solid experience, and these are among Patrade’s competences.
Patrade’s consultants are familiar faces at Pressalit where sparring, counselling and strategy are the key words for the cooperation.
PRESSALIT A/S
Innovation – thinking outside the box and working creatively – is deeply rooted in our company culture and our business foundation. We honour our work assisting our clients in the best possible way – allo-wing our clients to focus on growth, while we handle the protection of their intellectual property rights. We offer customised consultancy within all aspects of IPR on a very individual and personal level.
Hence the handwritten logo. Every person’s hand-writing is unique – and so are we, and so are our clients. No two clients are alike. This is why we always provide unique and customised solutions. It sounds simple, but the protection of our clients’ intellectual property rights always comes first.
To us, thinking differently and in new, client- oriented terms has become a lifestyle. Consequent-ly, during the past 20 years, we have grown from being a local patent agency in Aarhus into being a large, national full-service IPR agency headquatered in Aarhus and with local offices in Copenhagen, Aalborg and Kolding.
We thrive to make a positive difference in every contact with our clients, and we advice our clients on the basis of their individual situation and stra-tegy. We consider all aspects, as we offer a 360 degree solution paying regard to people, produc-tion, investments, competition, marketing, export barriers and much more.
You are safe with us.
We are innovative and strategic – and so we put words into action

To our 60-70 employees, the entire world is their workplace, and they are familiar with many different cultures, legal systems and continents.
Consultants and coordinators work closely together in specialised teams to maintain each individual client’s portfolio. Each single team constitutes a highly quali-fied sparring partner to their clients.

Our coordinators all have language degrees from further education institutions, and our consultants have supplemented their scientific or technical back-grounds with specialised postgraduate courses in IPR. A number of our consultants are authorised European patent attorneys, enabling them to repre-sent patent applicants in the European Patent organi-sation. Furthermore, we have several European trade mark and design attorneys.
Patrade’s experts are much requested speakers at conferences, at institutions and in companies at home and abroad. Several of our consultants also function as external instructors at Danish universities.

WHEN A TRADITIONAL QUIZ GAME MERGES WITH CREATIVITY
Entrepreneur Jesper Bülow started cautiously when he introduced the board game Bezzerwizzer® to family and friends in the beginning of 2004. The first prototypes were produced in his basement and many of the first questions were formulated on his home computer.
The result was the game Bezzerwizzer® which with its 5,000 questions in 20 categories has become one of the most popular board games at present.
With help and advice from Patrade, Bezzerwizzer® is protected as a trade mark and the appearance of the quiz game is protected as a registered design.
Jesper Bülow has, together with Patrade, extended his intellectual property rights to include foreign countries.

WHEN A NEW STAR LIGHTS UP THE IPR SKY
Intelligent lighting solutions have made the Danish company Martin Professional a world leader within its field in no time. But competition is tough and demand for innovation high. This is why IPR is fundamen-tal to the further development of the lighting giant.
Martin Professional is the world leading supplier of intelligent, compu-terised lighting solutions featuring colour and movement. The lighting solutions are used for a variety of purposes, from stage shows with world famous artists like Madonna to interior and exterior lighting on buildings.
