On June 1, 2018, the Danish Patent and Trademark Office (DKPTO) will become an Accessing Office in the DAS system.
It is recalled that DKPTO has been a member of the DAS system since October of 2011. But for all these years, DKPTO was only a Depositing Office, not an Accessing Office. The big news today is that on June 1, DKPTO will become both a Depositing Office and an Accessing Office.
This means that if an applicant files a patent application in DKPTO that claims priority from a patent application filed anywhere else, starting on June 1, 2018 it will be possible to use the DAS system to provide an electronic certified copy of the priority application to DKPTO.
