    Current research

    Primary research areas
    I am broadly interested in civil justice, dispute resolution and enforcement, including

    • Civil procedure law
    • European procedural law, including procedural law aspects of EU law and the European Convention on Human Rights as well as the Unified Patent Court (UPC) and work on soft law harmonization of civil procedure law
    • Comparative civil procedure law
    • Alternative dispute resolution (ADR), including arbitration, mediation, online dispute resolution (ODR) and notice-and-action procedures
    • Enforcement law, in particular enforcement of intellectual property rights


    Current research projects
    I am co-founder of the Centre for Private Governance (CEPRI), which conducts research in the legal implications of private governance, i.e. private actors undertaking (traditionally) public tasks and functions. I am particularly interested in how private governance can affect the role and functioning of courts in civil dispute resolution. Within CEPRI, I am PI on the collaborative research project Rethinking the role of courts in civil dispute resolution. I also participate in the collaborative research project Digital platforms as private governance systems.

    Besides CEPRI, I contribute with research within a broad range of issues within my research area. My research includes the following books in Danish:

    • Retsplejeloven med kommentarer (10. udgave 2018, 11. udgave 2024 (in press))
    • Immaterialret (4. udg. 2015, 5. udg. 2018, 6. udg. 2021, 7. udg. 2024)
    • Den civile retspleje (4. udg. 2017, 5. udg. 2020, 6. udg. 2024 (planned)
    • Judicielle forbud/påbud og immaterialretsproces (2015)
    • Immaterialrettigheder og foreløbige forbud (2008)
