How does patent renewal work In Denmark?

Renewal fees are payable to the Danish Patent and Trademark Office in respect of national patent applications.

Whereas for a pending European patent application an applicant must pay a single maintenance fee at the EPO, after grant, during the term of the European patent, maintenance fees are payable to the national patent office, where the patent has been validated and is sought to be kept in force.

Denmark participates in the Unitary Patent system as well. Annual renewal fees for Unitary Patents are paid to the EPO. Proprietors no longer need to pay national renewal fees in different currencies to multiple patent offices applying different legal requirements.

What is the deadline for renew a patent in Denmark?

The annual fees are due each year on the last day of the application month.

For example if the application for the patent was submitted on October 9, 2012 and granted on May 8, 2019. The due date for the payment of the annual fee is October 31.

The annual fees must be paid after the patent is granted beginning with the first year. The annual fees may also be paid up to a maximum of six months after the due date. Payments made after the due date must include the annual fee plus a 20% surcharge.
