Frank Petersen, IPR Manager at ECCO and former IPR Director at Danfoss explains why they chose Nordic Patent Institute as PCT Authority:

"We have chosen to use Nordic Patent Institute as we consider it important to maintain and develop patent expertise in Denmark and the Nordic countries. Our industries need "local" people with knowledge of the patent system".
