    Is a patent what you need to protect in Denmark?

    A patent protects the technical solution of an invention, but it does not cover the name under which it is sold, the appearance of the product or the creative work. Trademarks, patents and designs are handled by the DKPTO, each with its own file and fee. Copyright is not registered in Denmark.

    Trademark

    Protects the name, logo or sign that identifies your business and sets it apart from competitors. In Denmark it is registered with the DKPTO; the basic fee includes one class of the Nice Classification.

    Example: your company name or your product logo.

    Term: 10 years, renewable indefinitely for equal periods.

    Industrial design

    Protects the external appearance of a product: its shape, lines or ornamentation. It does not protect the name.

    Example: the silhouette of a bottle or the design of a package.

    Copyright

    Protects works: texts, music, software, photographs or audiovisual works. In Denmark it arises upon creation and there is no official registry; to prove date and authorship, other means are used, such as a deposit with a notary.

    Example: the code of an app or an illustrated catalog.

    Protect copyright in Denmark

    Is your trademark already registered in Denmark? Registration lasts 10 years and renewal costs DKK 2,400 including one class, plus supplements for each additional class (2026 fees); paid after expiry, it costs 20% more. And use matters: a trademark not used for 5 years can be cancelled.

    From Uruguay, to the world

    Since 1930, at Dubourg we’ve been helping companies and entrepreneurs protect what sets them apart most: their brand. We work from Montevideo with clients around the world, supporting them at every stage of their growth—from the initial registration to entering new markets.

    One firm, many countries

    It all starts with registering your trademark where your business currently operates. When the time comes to expand, our network of international correspondents extends that protection to other countries—all through a single, coordinated process managed from here and at the best possible rates.

    Security Before Every Step

    Before moving forward, we search intellectual property databases worldwide to verify that your trademark is available. That way, you make informed decisions—not ones based on uncertainty.
