About us

The Patent and Trademark Office is a dynamic, modern and market-oriented part of the Ministry of Industry. Its mission is to help companies turn ideas into assets. Our core task is to process applications for patents, utility models, trademarks and designs, and we work to ensure that Danish companies have rights to their own ideas, so we create the best possible conditions for growth and development – both in Denmark and abroad.
