Search the DKPTO register

PVSonline (trademark register search) is Danish Patent and Trademark Office's own search tool.

Tool: PVSonline (trademark register search)
Search by: mark text, applicant or holder, application number, registration number, Nice class, application date, registration date, end of registration procedure date, representative, opponent
Languages: Danish, English
Free: Yes
Account required: No
Limits: Covers Danish applications and registrations and international registrations valid in Denmark, but not EU trade mark applications or registrations; there is no image or Vienna code search field.

How to search

Open PVSonline and choose Varemærke (Trademark); use Engelsk version for the English interface.
Tick DK varemærke for Danish national marks and/or MP varemærke for international registrations designating Denmark.
Fill in one or more fields, such as Mærketekst (mark text), Ansøger/indehaver (applicant or holder), application or registration number, or Klasse (Nice).
For text fields choose a match type: equals, begins with, contains or ends with; numbers and dates can be searched as greater than, less than or a range.
Search EUIPO's eSearch as well, since EU trade marks are not in PVSonline.

Good to know

DKPTO does not require foreign applicants to appoint a representative. The list of goods and services may first be filed in English, but DKPTO will require a Danish version.
DKPTO examines relative grounds by searching for earlier similar national, EU and international marks valid in Denmark, but sends the result only as an information search report: applications are refused only on absolute grounds, so earlier rights must be enforced by opposition.
DKPTO states that it usually takes about 6 weeks from payment to examine an application.

International

Madrid Protocol and regional systems

Denmark is a member of the Madrid Protocol since 1996-02-13, so an international registration filed through WIPO can designate it.

EU trade mark (EUIPO): An EU trade mark gives its owner an exclusive right in all current and future EU Member States, including Denmark.
