In the heart of Copenhagen, right by the Central Station, lies the office of IP-Safe. While the city is buzzing outside, the vibe inside is calm and relaxed. Here, our employees have many decades of combined experience within IP management — from patent and trademark agencies to corporate in-house IP departments.
However, IP-Safe is a bit different:
If you were to mention just one thing, it is perhaps that here, IP administration is not a support function; it's the core focus. And because IP-Safe works with all types of clients, IP administration is performed in all its different forms at any day of the week.
As Line Lehm Sletten, the most recent member of the IP-Safe team, remarks, "Working at IP-Safe means that IP administration is the heart of our operations. This focus allows us to hone our skills and deliver flexible solutions and exceptional service."
Opportunities for Professional Growth
Since its inception in 2016, IP-Safe has encouraged its employees to pursue professional growth actively, whether this involves obtaining certifications, taking part in our business development, or being an active member of the IP community.
Stine Nørgaard Axelsen, who has been with IP-Safe since 2018, embodies this spirit. She shares, "IP-Safe encourages us to engage in the broader IP community. In 2021, I was chosen to represent EPIPA in overseeing a new certification for IP paralegals through the EUIPO's Education Programme. This adds a nice variety to daily work life, which already contains a lot more variation than the typical IP administrator is probably used to"
Flexibility and collaborative spirit
Camilla Outtrup, partner at IP-Safe, adds that, to her, fostering a friendly, relaxed and supportive atmosphere is a top priority:
“We put a lot of trust in our team members, who work with a high level of independence and flexibility, including options to work from home. However, it is equally important to us that we are always available to help one another; answers and input should never be further away than a walk across the hall or a quick phone call. We thrive on a collaborative spirit, which also means that we constantly learn from each other, improving our collective expertise and service quality.”
Coffee is always brewing
Our office, located literally on top of Copenhagen Central Station, provides easy access to the vibrant city life of Copenhagen. Despite the hustle and bustle outside, the vibe inside our office is calm and relaxed. Furthermore, our door is always open, and our coffee machine is almost always brewing. So whether you are a curious IP professional - or a company curious to learn more about our services - don’t hesitate to stop by.
