The fees will increase by 20 percent, partly due to necessary investments in customer-facing IT solutions and IT security, partly because the fees (with a few exceptions) have not been adjusted since 2002. The fees would have been approximately 45 percent higher than they are today, had they been adjusted annually for prices and wages since 2002.
The change is based on a bill adopted by the Danish Parliament on 19 December 2025. The change also includes a reduction of the transmittal fee for international patent applications (PCT applications), bringing it more in line with the fee levels of the European Patent Office (EPO) and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
