Nina Mikander
Head of IP Prosecution, European Trademark and Design Attorney
About me
I am an intellectual property (IP) specialist and head of our IP prosecution team. I advise clients on all aspects of trademark and design protection, filing strategies, trademark clearance searches and IP portfolio management internationally. I also handle contentious proceedings, oppositions and cancellation actions at the Finnish Patent Office and EUIPO. I have considerable and versatile experience of designs globally, and have been involved in numerous cases of design infringements as a consulting specialist responsible for preparing infringement evaluations. I work for clients across a variety of industry sectors. I lecture on IP related matters as well.
Before joining C&S, I have worked as a head of trademark and designs, team manager and as a head of marketing in firms specialised in IP prosecution as well as with a telecommunications firm overseeing and managing their design portfolio. Before joining a private IP practice I worked several years at the Finnish Patent Office.
I am a European Trademark and Design attorney with the right to represent clients before EUIPO. I am also an authorised Finnish Trademark and Design Attorney.
