Law firm Fredrikson & Byron has hired Ann Wessberg as chair of the firm’s trademark group.
Wessberg joins from US discount retailer Target, where she worked as chief trademark counsel.
She has experience in the enforcement of trademarks, copyright and domain names, and is based in the firm’s Minneapolis office.
Lora Friedemann, chair of the firm’s intellectual property division, said: “Ann is a leader that is uniquely familiar with the business challenges in-house counsel face in terms of the pressures on money, people and time.”
