Peder Bylander

Peder Bylander joined Zacco in 2026 and works with a broad range of IP activities, such as patent drafting, patentability assessments, Freedom-to-Operate analyses, patent portfolio strategy management, IP strategy, inventor remuneration models, and patent valuations. Peder is also part of Zacco’s commercial team.

He graduated in 2003 with an M.Sc. in Industrial Engineering and Management from Linköping Institute of Technology, focusing on computer science and ERP systems. He has also studied engineering in France, and assessed during his master’s thesis in Singapore a new and patented technology.

After having worked in the UK within the management consulting industry in the interface between research and high-tech industry for some years, he returned to Sweden and started as a business and technical advisor at a quasi-governmental bank and consultancy. Peder has since 2012 worked within the IP domain, both at two other IP consultancies and in an in-house role within the autonomous systems industry. In the latter function he was responsible for protecting the full product development efforts for the company in Europe, as well as making sure that no infringements on competitors’ IPR occurred. He has also functioned as the centre-of-excellence for IP strategies at one of said consultancies, where his clients’ IP strategies ideally were to interconnect fully with their business plans.

Peder has in particular a strong interest in software-implemented inventions from a patent perspective. He has since graduation co-founded two software ventures, and has thus thorough insights into software development processes, but also in raising capital for technology start-ups.

He has patent experience in the fields of autonomous navigation, object detection, AI, and Augmented Reality, but also from various manufacturing industries, and from the ventilation and air handling industry for buildings and industrial applications.

At Zacco, Peder brings experience and clarity where business, technology and IPR meet.
