AWA opens office in Norway
IP firm AWA has announced the opening of an office in Oslo, Norway, led by Carsten Lous, the current IP rights director of consumer goods company Stokke.
From August 1, Lous will lead AWA’s Norwegian business as business area manager. He joins the firm after spending eight years at Stokke and has extensive experience working in consumer-centric industries with IP strategy, patenting, trademark registration and design protection.
Lous said: "AWA has always been associated with high quality in the IP industry. I admire their business insights and competences, which is clear from their IP management and strategy expertise, together with their focus on increased collaboration and trade with Asia.
He previously served as head of patents and designs at Zacco Norway, a patent attorney at private IP consultancy Oslo Patentkontor, and product manager at chemical corporation BASF Norway.
With the launch of the Norwegian office, AWA now has 19 offices across two continents.
Thor Mosaker, AWA Group CEO, said: “This move is an exciting yet natural step in AWA’s continued growth to becoming one of the largest IP firms in Europe and Asia.
“There is an incredible opportunity ahead to better assist our clients in Norway, but to also support corporations on-the-ground as the country becomes Europe’s next innovation hub with our full-service offering.”
