We are excited to announce that Kati Rantala joins Avance as a Specialist Counsel as of 19 May 2025.
With around 15 years of experience in intellectual property rights (IPR) and technology related matters, including complex IPR litigation in the Finnish Market Court and Supreme Court, as well as IPR related arbitration and prosecution, Kati’s arrival will further strengthen Avance’s services within IPR.
Kati Rantala’s expertise covers IPR infringement, annulment, and other judicial proceedings, as well as IPR registration and monetization. She advises clients in matters related to trademarks, patents, copyrights, designs, trade secrets, domain names and company names.
“We are delighted to welcome Kati to the team. Her experience with contentious IPR matters in particular will allow us to respond to an even broader range of clients’ IPR related needs, whether arising in connection with transactions, disputes, or other IPR-intensive assignments”, says Managing Partner Ilkka Perheentupa.
