Gyde explains, so it's easy to understand.

Gyde from Patentsmarter gave me precisely what I needed.

With her professional insight, she was able to inform me about what was legally possible and correct, and at the same time, she could advise me about what was appropriate to do.

Gyde is good at explaining so that you actually understand the technical and legal aspects you are not used to dealing with yourself.

Useful advice on trademarks

I received very useful advice from this company. my company in matters of rights and trademark.

The help was easy to understand and was given in a friendly and educational manner. It has ended up saving me quite a bit of money.

I can give my best recommendation to other companies or people who need help finding their way in the jungle of rules regarding rights to their own products and company name.

Incredibly competent and really good cooperation

Gyde has a very professional and sympathetic approach to advice in the patent world.

I have experienced Gyde as a mega knowledgeable and skilled person, and she has helped us both strategically and hands-on, to secure our IPR, FtO, and trademark protection, something that is incredibly important when you are sitting with innovative concepts, prototypes, and inventions.

Can highly recommend Gyde and Patentsmarter.

Clinical Development at H. Lundbeck A/S

In my area of responsibility at Lundbeck, clinical development in psychiatry, I always felt that my knowledge about the very important area of IP/patents is too fragmented.

So I was extra happy that I got the opportunity to do a test drive with Gyde’s beta version of her newly developed webinar series of 3x2hs on this topic.

Gyde is a very competent senior patent attorney and developed an excellent, highly engaging and didactically very thought through curriculum which further shaped my perspective and strategic approach to IP/patent matters.

Also newer challenges like use of digital health technologies in drug development were addressed.

If you are interested to learn more about IP/patents in a very insightful and entertaining way I can only recommend to attend this course.

Presents a complex topic in a fun and engaging way.

We had the pleasure to learn about IP and patents from Gyde in a two-day workshop. Gyde facilitated a very nice workshop with a thought through curriculum and managed to communicate a rather complex topic in a highly engaging and fun way.

An absolutely HUGE recommendation
Gyde from PATENTsmarter in always made it understandable and motivating to look into this important subject of protecting my company assets.

I came to her without any clearance of what exactly I was looking for, and on top of knowledge I got ideas and inputs boosting my creative work with name and concept in my business.

At no point she was focused on sales and business and I have felt helped and guided due to sincere interest in helping me protect my business against copyists.

I happily enlisted for a Masterclass PATENTsmarter did on how to stay safe from someone copying you and again insights were useful, straight on and easy to understand.

An absolutely HUGE recommendation to ALL small, medium and large business to contact PATENTsmarter if you need help/advice/input on how to avoid being copied.

PATENTsmarter™ er et informations- og uddannelseswebsted, der drives af European Patent Attorneys, herunder specifikt ejeren, grundlæggeren og CEO for PATENTsmarter™, Gyde Balzer Carstensen.

Læs venligst vores Forretningsbetingelser før du bruger de oplysninger, som PATENTsmarter™ tilbyder i shoppen eller på anden måde.


Alle produkter og tjenester, blogs, mentoring (1:1 sparring), skræddersyede løsninger, events, webinarer, workshop m.m., herunder materiale eller indhold, der deles af PATENTsmarter™ , er udelukkende til uddannelsesmæssige og illustrative formål, der har til formål at give en bedre forståelse af loven og dens potentielle muligheder og risici, og kan ikke opfattes som juridisk rådgivning.

En forenkling kan være nødvendig for at forbedre den begrebsmæssige forståelse

Indholdet garanteres ikke for at være korrekt eller opdateret med de seneste nationale eller internationale lovændringer. Nogle gange er begreberne blevet forenklet for at reducere kompleksiteten og sikre en bedre begrebsmæssig forståelse, hvilket betyder, at udvalgte emner eller aspekter kan udelades eller ikke belyses fra alle vinkler.

Brug oplysningerne – men husk at få professionel rådgivning

Det er dit (brugerens) ansvar som virksomhedsejer at sikre, at du kender de juridiske konsekvenser af dine handlinger og derfor også at konsultere en patentadvokat eller juridisk rådgiver, før du handler på baggrund af noget, du har lært eller konkluderet på baggrund af produkter, tjenester og indhold leveret af PATENTsmarter™ .


Selv om PATENTsmarter™ kan hjælpe dig med at strømline dit arbejde og fremhæve muligheder og risici, kan det ikke erstatte rådgivning fra en patentadvokat eller juridisk rådgiver.


Din specifikke situation, forretningsmodel, produktdetaljer, konkurrencesituation og adfærd er nogle af de aspekter, der påvirker din juridiske status, og kan i nogle tilfælde synes at være i modstrid med det, du har lært i f.eks. specifikke PATENTsmarter™.

Forventninger, resultater og succes

PATENTsmarter™ garanterer eller lover ikke specifikke resultater eller resultater for virksomheder eller enkeltpersoner, der deltager i eller bruger produkter eller tjenester, der leveres via denne webside eller tilknyttede tjenester.

Din virksomhed, dit ansvar – husk at søge forretningskritisk rådgivning, før du handler

Alle kan lære med PATENTsmarter™, men resultaterne vil variere og afhænge af sagsspecifikke detaljer, forståelse af det præsenterede indhold, den personlige indsats, der er forbundet med at oversætte det, og rådgivernes kompetence, som forklaret ovenfor.


Hvis du ønsker min praktiske støtte som din rådgiver, kan dette ikke ske gennem PATENTsmarter™. Du kan kontakte mig via min konsulentaftale med Larsen & Birkeholm; men da dette er en helt uafhængig virksomhed, skal du ikke forvente rabatter eller andre fordele som følge af køb af PATENTsmarter™. Jeg tilbyder kun et begrænset antal rådgivningstimer hos Larsen & Birkeholm, så det kan være nødvendigt at kontakte mig i god tid, hvis du ønsker min sagsspecifikke service.

Your business, your responsibility – remember to seek critical advice before you act

Any person can learn with PATENTsmarter™, but results will vary and depend on case-specific details, understanding of the content presented, the personal effort involved in translating it, and the competence of advisors, as explained above.


If you want my hands-on support as your counsel, this can not be done through PATENTsmarter™. You can reach out to me through my consultancy agreement with Larsen & Birkeholm; however, since this is an entirely independent business, please do not expect discounts or other perks due to the purchase of PATENTsmarter™ products.
