Press release: Valea now in Malmö! // Print

Following an intensive period of recruitment activities and searching for suitable premises, on 11 January 2010 Valea opened its fourth office, this time in central Mälmö.

“We are delighted to have six highly competent new members of staff with broad experience from the IP field starting with us during our very first week”, explains Anders Havstam, Valea’s CEO. “They will be joined next week by Edward Farrington, European Patent Attorney, from our Gothenburg office. Edward will be responsible for ensuring that the staff in Malmö becomes fully integrated in Valea”.

Many of Valea’s larger clients are already established in the Öresund region. The region is enjoying an expansive phase with an increasing need for IP-related services.

“It is the growing demand in this region from both existing as well as new clients which is the primary reason for us opening our Malmö office”, says Andrew Hammond, one of Valea’s many European Patent Attorneys. “Our geographic presence will make us even more attractive from a recruitment point of view so that we will be able to continue to expand in this region. We are extremely pleased with our offices, which are ideally situated at Citykajen in the centre of Malmö and which have been specifically selected to provide sufficient space to allow us to implement our planned growth.”

Valea is one of Europe’s leading firms of consultants in the field of intellectual property. With over 80 members of staff distributed across its offices in Gothenburg, Linköping, Malmö and Stockholm, Valea can provide IP consultancy services in all fields of technology. Our consultants combine high academic qualifications with many years’ experience of IP law. This knowledge, together with an astute business-based understanding of our clients’ activities in both the short and the long term, means we can help our clients fully exploit their IP rights to ensure optimal value-creation. Valea values it client relations above all else. These relations are built on the competence and prompt service we offer as well as mutual cooperation stemming from trust and respect.
