A patent grants the inventor exclusive rights to their innovation, providing a valuable competitive advantage. At Groth & Co, we help businesses and entrepreneurs protect their ideas throughout the entire patent process – from strategy and application to securing financial support – offering tailored, business-focused advice both in Sweden and internationally
A patent is a legal right that grants the inventor exclusive control over the use and commercialisation of a technical innovation for a limited period of time. This means that no one else may manufacture, sell or use the invention without your permission – giving you a valuable competitive edge.
With deep commitment and extensive experience, we help you realise and protect your ideas. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, startup, scaleup, or an established business, we are your trusted partner, taking your innovation journey seriously. Through commercially focused patent advice, we guide you through the entire process – from strategic analysis and application to securing financial support for protecting your innovations.
We combine strong technical and legal expertise with tailored solutions based on your specific circumstances – and we’re with you every step of the way.
Our specialists ensure that your business receives optimal patent protection, both in Sweden and internationally, so you can fully capitalise on your innovations and focus on future opportunities.
Our areas of expertise in patents
We transform technical ideas into robust patent applications and drive them through to become granted rights. Our consultants – the majority of whom are European Patent Attorneys (EPA) – combine deep technical insight with legal precision and business focus. We use the latest tools for quality assurance, workflow management and client relevance, and we continuously develop our service offering.
We work closely with you as our client. When necessary, we can work with you on-site in your organisation, supporting your R&D and IP functions, conducting inventor interviews and prioritisation meetings, and collaborating directly with inventors to capture the technical essence of the invention and drafting patent applications with commercial weight and relevance, across all areas of technology.
How we work:
Just get in touch and we’ll get started
We defend and challenge patents with precision. Our team has extensive experience of opposition proceedings before the EPO and PRV, and we have in-house legal and patent litigation expertise. This makes us fast and cost-effective – from early risk assessments to written submissions, discussions and verbal negotiations.
Third-party observations first
We have substantial experience with third-party observations (TPO) in all jurisdictions where they are possible, and we always assess TPO as the first line of action before recommending or awaiting opposition, since a TPO is significantly more cost-effective. Combined with our monitoring/surveillance services, we identify threats and opportunities at the right time, reduce your costs, and influence the patent landscape in your favour.

Would you like to know what your competitors are doing before it impacts your business? We combine continuous patent monitoring with AI-driven analysis that filters out the noise and delivers precise insights. A dedicated IP specialist who understands your technology and business translates signals into concrete recommendations for strategy, roadmaps, and product development.
We give you the edge through early warnings on patent applications, amendments and movements in your field, and by identifying “white space” and new patentable opportunities. As part of our strategy, we always assess the possibility of third-party observations (TPO) in possible jurisdictions. TPO is often a fast and cost-effective way to influence the outcome of a competitor’s patent application before we recommend opposition.
Would you like to see how this works in practice? Book a free 30-minute meeting and we will demonstrate the process and tailor the monitoring to your needs.

Groth & Co conducts fast, accurate IP due diligence reviews that clarify the risk, legal status and potential of all intangible assets. With deep technical and legal expertise – and experience from numerous M&As and other transactions – we analyse patent, trademark and design portfolios, ownership and validity, on-going disputes, freedom-to-operate (FTO), and infringement or blocking risks, tailored to client requirements. The results constitute a concrete basis for decision-making , an action list, and recommendations that strengthen negotiations, pricing and integration planning – both in Sweden and internationally.

We help you to integrate your patent strategy, R&D strategy and trade secret strategy into a coherent plan that supports your business. The goal is simple: the right protection for the right knowledge at the right time – enabling you to innovate faster, reduce risk, and maximise value.
We always start with a workshop where two of our experts – one legal and one technical – map out your assets, goals and your competitive landscape. Together, we set the framework: what should be patented, what should remain a trade secret, and how to secure and protect critical knowledge (processes, access control, documentation and ownership) within your organisation.
The result is a clear, operational strategy with decision criteria, roles, timelines and KPIs, plus a concrete action plan for patenting, trade secret management and knowledge governance in R&D. We can work closely with you, or on-site, and we liaise with you continuously as circumstances change.
