Sorting by first name
Sofia Eriksson
About
I am a nature lover who gets energy from the sea and nature but who also likes the pulse of the city. I enjoy swimming and boating in the archipelago and enjoy being in the mountains, where I like to go with hiking boots or ski boots on my feet. My creative streak is most noticeable at the stove, where I am a master at conjuring up a dinner of what happens to be at home.
Experience and drivers
I am Head of Legal at Bergenstråhle and work with IP counseling with a main focus on trademarks and strategic advice to Swedish and international clients. I have experience as a lawyer at two other IP firms, but also from development-intensive organizations where I have held leadership positions with a focus on digital service development and innovation. My driving force as an advisor is to work closely with clients’ needs and business goals and to contribute to the development of clients’ businesses.

ABOUT
In my spare time, you’ll usually find me in a pair of trainers, at the gym or in the woods. And if I’m not there, I’m probably in my little studio kneading a lump of clay or sewing a bag. But I prefer to sit under the mulberry tree in our garden in France and philosophize.
Experience and motivation
In my role at Bergenstråhle, I benefit greatly from my long experience of working with IP from both government and industry. I am driven by working with change and order. Holding trainings is also close to my heart. My team and I coordinate and manage IP formalities and administration of patents, trademarks and designs, and we ensure that your IP portfolio is always up to date and secure.
