Denmark

Answer ... Upon receiving notice of appeal, the Board of Appeal will obtain the DKPTO’s reassessment of the case. The appellant is then given one month to respond to any such comments from the DKPTO. Usually, the appeal procedure is conducted in writing. In certain cases, an oral hearing may be allowed, if requested by the parties. The appeal has suspensive effect.
