Send and receive secure emails and digital post
Customers should consider sending secure e-mails or Digital Post under the following criteria;
- If the e-mail contains detailed descriptions of an idea, which you believe has the potential of obtaining exclusive rights
- Other trade secrets
- Confidential or sensitive personal data
Companies
It is possible for Danish companies to send Digital Post to the Danish Patent and Trademark Office (DKPTO) using the digital mailbox available at www.virk.dk.
The DKPTO is restricted to viewing documents in MS office and PDF formats.
If a company has granted an individual employee a certificate/company certificate, the holder of the certificate will be able to send direct e-mails to DKPTO via sikkerpost@dkpto.dk. DKPTO’s security key must be installed in advance. Click on the button below to install. (Download by right clicking the file and choose ‘save as’).
Load the certificate from NemID’s server (Seach sikkerpost@dkpto.dk)
Individuals with a Danish CPR number
Individuals with a Danish CPR number have the possibility to send Digital Post to the DKPTO using the digital mailbox available at www.lifeindenmark.dk or www.e-boks.dk.
