Fredrik Almaas

I am a senior associate attorney working with all IP-related matters, especially trademarks/branding, and I have been working with IP for my entire career and I love it!

I love building things and am constantly working on and coming up with new projects to keep me busy around my house, cooking good food (preferably with some good wine), doing puzzles, drawings and playing with my kids.

I root for

Been a Barcelona fan since I was 10 years old (after seeing Romario in World Cup '94), and that may me also fall in love with Arsenal in the 90's!

My superpowers

I am very organized and systematic, so in my house I know - at all times - where absolutely everything is. Not sure if this counts as a superpower, but super useful.
