Aside from litigation, his most important activities involve license agreements and the remuneration of employee inventions. During his career as a lawyer, Henrik has been involved in numerous cases of interest not only to lawyers, but also to the general public. These have often been the subject of reports in specialist journals and other media. Furthermore, Henrik is joint editor and co-author of «Handbuch des Patentrechts» (Patent Law Handbook), 2nd edition 2020, C.H.
