Zacco Denmark

What Zacco Denmark does

Zacco Denmark (legal entity Zacco A/S) is a full-service intellectual property firm headquartered in Copenhagen, with origins tracing back to 1870 when Frederik Wolff founded the Internationalt Bureau in Denmark. The firm operates approximately 30 offices across Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Germany, the United Kingdom, and India, and employs more than 500 professionals including over 100 patent attorneys, 70 trademark and design professionals (of whom 40 are attorneys at law), 20 corporate domain management and online brand protection experts, and 20 cybersecurity specialists. The firm's core services span patents, trademarks, designs, IP litigation, IP operations, digital brand protection, and digital trust/cybersecurity, with named enterprise clients such as LEO Pharma, Elkem, Mölnlycke Health Care, Pandora, Zenseact, Anticimex, Liseberg, Jual Group, Atria Sweden, Viking Arm, and Rottefella, alongside a stated startup and university segment.

The firm's technical platform is anchored by two proprietary assets: IP360, a cross-functional methodology that coordinates strategy across patents, trademarks, designs, legal, operations, digital brands, and digital trust; and IPview, an asset management portal providing clients real-time, single-pane visibility over their full IP rights and domains portfolio. Zacco manages nearly 250,000 registered IP rights on behalf of clients, supported by India-based R&D entities (Zacco India R&D Private Limited and OpSec Services India Private Limited) that provide round-the-clock prosecution and brand protection capacity.

Zacco operates a pure professional services revenue model, monetizing through fees for IP prosecution, registration, litigation, portfolio operations, digital brand protection, and cybersecurity engagements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is tailored to the scope and complexity of each engagement. Following its 2023 acquisition by OpSec Group, Zacco became a standalone full-service IP firm within the Investcorp Portfolio in 2024 and now operates under regulated entities including Zacco Advokatanpartsselskab (Denmark) and ZACCO legal Rechtsanwalts GmbH (Germany), with AAA credit ratings from Dun & Bradstreet for its Denmark, Sweden, and Norway operations.
