Managing Partner

Dr. iur. Ants Nõmper is one of the most widely recognised Intellectual Property, IT and Medical Law experts in Estonia whose work is closely linked to the word ‘innovation’. Ants has led a number of innovative cases, including the first patent dispute in Estonia, the first dispute over the responsibility of a media channel over commentaries in Estonia, the first Estonian pharmaceutical advertisement dispute in the European Court of Justice and receiving the first preliminary ruling for a generic pharmaceutical company in Estonia. He is also one of the authors of the textbooks ‘Medical Law’ and ‘Information and Law’ — the first in their related fields to be published in Estonia. Ants is also a member of the .ee and .eu Domain Disputes Committee.
