By becoming a member of SEPAF, the industry association for Swedish intellectual property firms, Abion is continuing to develop its IP offering in Sweden.
SEPAF brings together Swedish intellectual property (IP) firms and works to uphold high standards of professional competence and ethics. The association also represents the interests of the Swedish IP sector by responding to legislative and regulatory consultations and contributing to public debate on the protection of innovation. It also provides a shared network for Sweden’s independent IP law firms.
The membership is part of Abion’s continued investment in its Swedish operations. It also provides additional opportunities to contribute to the development of the country’s IP sector and exchange professional experiences.
“Sweden is an important market for Abion, with many companies operating internationally and facing increasingly complex intellectual property needs. Through our SEPAF membership, we can engage more closely with the Swedish IP industry while strengthening our offering for both Swedish and international clients.”
– Steven Lane, Global Head of Brands & Legal
A strong position in the Swedish IP market
Abion provides Swedish and international companies with expertise in intellectual property, including trade mark, copyright and design protection, as well as domain management, digital security and monitoring.
In Sweden, the Brands & Legal function is led by Aliona Saalo, who joined Abion as Head of Brands & Legal, Sweden, earlier this year.

"For us, joining SEPAF is a natural step in our continued development in Sweden. We are already an active part of the Swedish IP sector, and the membership gives us further opportunities to contribute to the standards and practices that shape the industry."
- Aliona Saalo, Head of Brands & Legal Sverige
Abion is proud to become a member of SEPAF. The membership strengthens the connection between our local expertise in Sweden and our international operations.
