Nordisk Games bolsters investment team with the appointment of Audrey Leprince
Copenhagen-based Nordisk Games today announced that Audrey Leprince, a veteran of 23 years in the videogame industry, has joined the company as Senior Advisor.
In recent years Nordisk Games has built a high growth portfolio of minority and majority-owned game studios that includes Avalanche Studios Group, Star Stable Entertainment, MercurySteam, Nitro Games, Flashbulb and Supermassive Games. In her new role, Audrey will support the investment team – Markus Windelen, Partner, and Sofie Filt Læntver, VP Value Creation – sourcing and evaluating potential targets and providing strategic, hands-on support to Nordisk Games’ partners.
Audrey brings a wealth of experience to the position, having worked in diverse roles in development, advocacy and investment during her time in the industry. Aside from Audrey’s new role at Nordisk Games, she is the CEO and Co-Founder of the indie studio Game Bakers. Notably, she also worked as a Producer at Ubisoft, heading teams that created acclaimed AAA titles in the Tom Clancy and Brothers in Arms franchises.
Outside of her work as a producer of games, Audrey has headed an array of different initiatives in the games industry. Audrey is a passionate advocate of diversity in games, leading her to found Women in Games France in 2017.

Even fewer have such a nuanced understanding of what it takes to succeed at every level of the games industry today,” said Mikkel Weider, CEO of Nordisk Games.
“Aside from the fact I’ll get to work with some of the best and brightest games studios in Europe, Nordisk Games’ core values were a big draw for me. The Nordisk Games team is working to improve diversity in games and lessening our collective impact on the environment, two things which are very important to me,” added Leprince. “Nordisk Games is also a unique investor as they put so much emphasis on building long-term relationships and bringing real strategic value to their partner studios.”

18th Federal Civil Court of the Federal District blocks enforcement of Brazilian registration No. 501759803 after action by Aviator Studio Brazil.
A Federal Court in Brazil has ordered the suspension of Spribe’s trademark registration for “Aviator,” preventing the company from relying on exclusivity rights tied to Brazilian trademark registration No. 501759803 until a final judgment is issued.
The decision was issued by the 18th Federal Civil Court of the Federal District, following legal action brought by Aviator Studio Brazil. Aviator Studio said the court recognized the strength of its claims on the grounds of invalidation of Spribe’s trademarks.
According to Aviator Studio, the case centers on evidence that the Aviator trademark was created and used years before Spribe obtained trademark protection in Brazil. The company said the court acknowledged evidence that the Aviator brand originated in Georgia in 2016 and was formally registered there in 2018.
The court also took note of prior judicial decisions in Georgia that, according to Aviator Studio, invalidated Spribe’s registration of the Aviator trademark and confirmed the rights of the original trademark owner.
“This decision represents an important step in protecting the Aviator brand and enforcing intellectual property rights internationally. In practical terms, this means that, until the final resolution of the Spribe’s trademark invalidation proceedings, Spribe will no longer be able to continue it’s disruptive practices against operators, including sending threatening letters or initiating legal actions related to the use of Aviator Studio’s trademark.” comments George Pruidze, CEO of Aviator Studio. “We remain committed to defending the integrity of the Aviator brand and ensuring that its legitimate ownership is recognized across all jurisdictions.”
