丹麦专利包含发明、外观设计、实用新型，由丹麦知识产权局（DKPTO）负责审查、授予与保护。本期主要介绍外观设计。
丹麦是外观设计海牙体系成员国、EUIPO成员国，因此申请丹麦外观设计有3种途径：直接向DKPTO递交申请、通过海牙途径指定丹麦、在EUIPO提交申请。
丹麦专利申请可通过填写在线申请表并上传附件提交。申请中至少应提供以下信息或附件：
（1）申请人与外观设计人信息：DKPTO可以要求申请人指定欧洲经济区（EEA）内的代理人以完成申请。在丹麦境内无固定居所的申请人，需要委托丹麦或EEA内的代理人进行申请。
（2）外观设计的名称、设计说明。同一申请中可以包含多个设计，但必须保证属于同一洛迦诺分类。
DKPTO不对外观设计申请进行新颖性和个性特征审查，但申请人可以请求DKPTO检索。该检索只是作为提供给申请人的一份报告，不作为是否驳回申请的依据。
申请文件可以采用丹麦语、英语、挪威语或瑞典语提交，以其他语言提交申请，应提供译文，且译文需要获得翻译员认证或以DKPTO认可的方式进行认证。若外观设计的说明文件采用非丹麦语，DKPTO可以要去提供丹麦语说明文件。
如果申请符合要求，DKPTO对外观设计申请进行注册授权。
丹麦外观设计保护期自申请日开始计算，有效期为5年，可以续展，每次续展延长5年，最多请求4次。即，丹麦外观设计专利保护期最长为25年。
1.申请费（只有一项设计）：1200DKK
2.加项费（同一申请中，从第二项设计开始）：700DKK/项
3.补充检索费：
只有一项设计：1500DKK
附加费-同一申请中，从第二项设计开始：900DKK/项
4.上诉费：4000DKK

Danish patents encompass inventions, designs (industrial designs), and utility models, with the Danish Patent and Trademark Office (DKPTO) being responsible for their examination, grant, and protection. This issue primarily focuses on industrial designs.
As Denmark is a member of the Hague System for the International Registration of Industrial Designs and a member state of the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), there are three avenues for applying for an industrial design in Denmark: filing an application directly with the DKPTO, designating Denmark through the Hague route, or submitting an application at the EUIPO.
Apply
Danish patent applications for industrial designs can be submitted by completing an online application form and uploading relevant attachments.
The application must include, at a minimum, the following information or attachments:
(1) Information about the applicant and the designer: The DKPTO may require the applicant to appoint a representative within the European Economic Area (EEA) to complete the application.
Applicants without a fixed residence in Denmark need to entrust a representative located in Denmark or within the EEA to handle the application.
(2) The title and description of the industrial design.
Multiple designs can be included in a single application, provided they fall under the same Locarno Classification.
The DKPTO does not conduct a novelty and individual character examination for industrial design applications; however, applicants may request the DKPTO to carry out a search. This search serves as a report provided to the applicant and does not constitute grounds for rejecting the application.
Application documents can be submitted in Danish, English, Norwegian, or Swedish. If submitted in another language, a translation must be provided, and the translation needs to be certified by a translator or in a manner recognized by the DKPTO.
If the descriptive documents of the industrial design are not in Danish, the DKPTO may request the submission of Danish descriptive documents.
If the application meets the requirements, the DKPTO will register and grant the industrial design application.
The protection period for a Danish industrial design starts from the application date and is valid for 5 years. It can be renewed, with each renewal extending the protection by 5 years, up to a maximum of 4 renewals. Therefore, the maximum protection period for a Danish industrial design patent is 25 years.
