Today, the technology is developing at exponential speed and the demands for both safety and reliability are constantly increasing. That is why it is important to remain at the forefront all the time and we do this again through the collaboration with CSC, says Mats Lundberg, CEO of Groth & Co.

The Internet is constantly changing and, unfortunately, both the intrusions and the frauds are becoming more sophisticated. Addressing these challenges requires a common strategy for domain names and trademarks, where trademark law plays an increasingly important role.
