On January 1, 2019, a new Danish Trademarks Act came into force. The new Act introduces a number of important amendments. Some of the changes can be seen below:

- Requirement for representation by graphic means is deleted
- Fee structure changed
- Fast-track scheme and detailed search report on prior rights available
- Renewal: As of January 1, 2019, a trademark registration is valid for 10 years from the date of application.
- Establishment of use-based trademark rights
- Trademark protection - goods in transit and preparatory acts
- Specification when company names can prevent registration and use of a trademark

Please note that the amendments have been included and the Danish survey has been updated thanks to the contributor Gorrissen Federspiel Advokatpartnerselskab.
