Congratulations to Knud Wallberg on 30 years of IP Practice!
With reference to a special work anniversary, we took the opportunity to have a chat with Knud Wallberg, Partner and Attorney-at-law at Zacco in Copenhagen. Throughout his extensive career, he has been an examiner at the Danish Patent and Trademark Office, a university lecturer and even co-founded his own IP firm. He is considered a valued member of The Danish Complaints Board for Domain Names and of the Board of Appeal for Patents and Trademarks and, in addition, has acted as UDRP Panelist with WIPO from the very beginning of the UDRP system. How would he summarise 30 years in the IP business?

“Streamlining and automating our system helps clients cut costs”
Zacco is growing! This time, we had the pleasure to talk to Helle Lerche Neergaard and Agatha Bergman, two new members of the IP Services department with loads of energy and drive. Both have joined Zacco after the summer vacation; Helle took up a position as Head of Business Development and Client Relations at Copenhagen and Agatha started in her team as a Relationship manager located in Gothenburg. They share a passion for automated and waterproof systems built with the clients in mind. And surely, even starting a new job during times marked by Corona restrictions could not stop them.

Swedish Data Protection Authority approves Binding Corporate Rules for the first time
Through the GDPR, all EU Member States, as well as the EEA countries, are considered to provide equal protection of personal data and privacy. Consequently, personal data may be transferred freely within this area. Corresponding rules, ensuring the protection of personal integrity when processing personal data, do, however, not exist in all countries outside the EU/EEA. The GDPR thus contains rules regarding the conditions under which it is permitted to transfer personal data to third countries. Binding Corporate Rules (or BCR’s) are an instrument that can be used for this purpose.
New ruling affects international transfer of personal data ("Schrems II")
On 16 July 2020, the Court of Justice of the EU (“CJEU”) issued its decision in Data Protection Commissioner v. Facebook Ireland Limited, Maximillian Schrems (Case C-311/18, “Schrems II”).
