In February
2018, the Danish Ministry of Justice introduced a new bill aiming at expanding
the rules on witness exclusion to include patent attorneys.
If
the bill is passed by the Danish Parliament, patent attorneys will gain witness
exclusion in Denmark with the effect that patent attorneys’ advice will be
confidential in court proceedings in the same way the advice of
attorneys-at-law currently is.
The
bill, thereby, closes a legislative gap, which has caused problems for Danish
patent advisors and companies operating in Denmark for nearly a century.
