Orsted chief executive Henrik Poulsen said: “We’re very pleased that the judgment of the Copenhagen Maritime and Commercial Court upholds our claim that we have the right to use the Orsted name.
“Our use of the name is a tribute to Hans Christian Orsted, one of the greatest Danish scientists of all time.
“He discovered electromagnetism nearly 200 years ago and thus laid the foundation for how we produce electricity today.”
