Dr. Morten Petersenn

Clients often ask Morten questions like "How do we best stop the infringement?", "How fast can we get a court order to stop the infringement", "Can we obtain a preliminary injunction?", "Is it possible to obtain a court order with EU-wide scope?", "Shall we send a cease and desist letter?", or "Can we obtain damages?". However, Morten does not only litigate for claimant parties. He also handles defense cases. Clients who are attacked by a competitor would typically need advice on questions like "Can we file a protective brief with the court?" or "Can we file a counter-claim?". For his clients, Morten is both a counsel and a litigator in court. 

Morten has a large number of clients from the technology area who appreciate Morten’s deep understanding of liability and enforcement questions for platforms, intermediaries and online shops. Morten has advised numerous clients on compliance questions regarding the most recent European’s Digital Services Act (DSA) as well as related national legislations. In the fashion and luxury industry Morten has represented clients in parallel import cases of textile products originating outside the EU. He also often litigates cases involving counterfeits or lookalike products from competitors and unfair competition cases, often regarding misleading statements or comparative advertising. 

Morten lectured "IP litigation" in LL.M. Master Courses at Bucerius Law School in Hamburg for many years.

Best Lawyers has been recognizing Morten in the field of IPMT for a number of years. Similarly, the German JUVE handbook has been quoting Morten as "frequently recommended" for various years in a row.
