A Patent is a legally protected right that gives inventors exclusive control over their new technical solutions in Denmark. When you receive a patent from the Danish Patent and Trademark Office, you get 20 years of exclusive rights to make, sell, and use your invention throughout the country.

Getting a patent requires your invention to be completely new, innovative, and industrially applicable. Danish patent protection helps businesses protect their R&D investments and commercialize their innovations. It's particularly valuable in sectors like biotech, engineering, and renewable energy, where Denmark leads in innovation. You can also extend your patent's coverage to other countries through the European Patent Office.

You need a Patent when you've developed a unique technical solution that gives your business a competitive edge in the Danish market. File your patent application before sharing your invention publicly or starting commercial production—once an invention becomes public knowledge, you can't patent it anymore.

Patents are especially important when entering competitive industries like green technology, pharmaceuticals, or engineering in Denmark. The 20-year monopoly rights help you recover R&D costs and build market share. Consider filing if your invention could generate significant revenue through licensing, or if competitors might try to copy your innovation. The Danish Patent Office offers pre-application searches to check if similar patents already exist.

A Patent differs significantly from a Patent Application in both purpose and legal effect. While they're closely related, understanding their distinct roles helps you navigate the Danish intellectual property system more effectively.

• Legal Status: A Patent is the granted right that gives you monopoly protection, while a Patent Application is the detailed document you submit to request this protection.
• Timing and Duration: The Application comes first and offers temporary protection, while the granted Patent provides 20 years of exclusive rights from the application date.
• Enforceability: You can't sue for infringement with just an Application - you need the granted Patent to enforce your rights in Danish courts.
• Public Disclosure: Applications remain confidential for 18 months, while Patents become public immediately upon grant, including all technical details.
• Modification Scope: Applications can be amended during examination, but once granted, a Patent's scope cannot be broadened.
