Governing laws

Denmark has been a member of the Berne Convention since 1 July 1903, the World Trade Organization since 1 January 1995 and the WIPO Copyright Treaty since 14 March 2010.

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed the Consolidated Act on Copyright (Consolidated Act No. 1144 of October 23, 2014) as the main IP law enacted by the legislature of Denmark. WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.

This Act does not extend to the Faeroe Islands but may by Royal Ordinance be brought into full or partial operation in the Faeroe Islands, subject to such modifications as required by the special conditions obtaining in the Faeroe Islands.^{[1144/2014 Art.93]} The act does apply to Greenland with minor modifications. The Compendium of Cultural Policies and Trends provides a commentary on Danish copyright law.

General rules

Under the Consolidated Act No. 1144 of 23 October 2014,

• The copyright in a work lasts for 70 years after the year of the author’s death, or with joint works for 70 years after the year of death of the last surviving author.^{[1144/2014 Art.63(1)]}
• With cinematographic works, copyright lasts for 70 years after the year of death of the last survivor of the principal director; the author of the script; the author of the dialogue; and the composer of music specifically created for use in the cinematographic work.^{[1144/2014 Art.63(1)]}

• Copyright of a musical work with lyrics where both lyrics and musical work have been created specifically for the work in question lasts until 70 years have passed from the year of death of the longest-living of the author and the composer.^{[1144/2014 Art.63(2)]}
• Where a work is made public without indication of the author’s name, generally known pseudonym or signature, copyright lasts for 70 years after the year in which the work was made public.^{[1144/2014 Art.63(3)]}
• Copyright in a work of unknown authorship that has not been made public lasts 70 years after the end of the year in which the work was created.^{[1144/2014 Art.63(5)]}

Photographs

Under the Consolidated Act No. 1144 of 23 October 2014,

• The person creating a literary or artistic work shall have copyright therein, be it ... a cinematographic or photographic work ...^{[1144/2014 Art.1(1)]}
• The rights in a photographic picture shall last until 50 years have elapsed from the end of the year in which the picture was taken.^{[1144/2014 Art.70(2)]}
• If a photographic picture is subject to copyright according to section 1, this right may also be exercised.^{[1144/2014 Art.70(3)]}
• The provision of this law (Section 70) shall not apply to photographic pictures made before 1 January 1970,^{[1144/2014 Art.89(5)]} that is, such pictures are covered by the previous law from 1993, which specifies protection tern of 25 years after the end of the year in which the image was produced.[1]

The definition of a photographic work, as opposed to image is not precisely defined. However Peter Schønning, a Danish copyright lawyer, states that for a photograph to be a photographic work it must display "the author's own intellectual creation and reflects his personality". Lacking actual court decisions however, interpretation is still subjective.

• On Commons Commons:Deletion requests/File:Aage Bohr.jpg concluded, that it was too simple to be considered photographic work.
• The same was decided in Commons:Deletion requests/File:Peter Martin Madsen (Halsted) by Julius Folkmann.jpg
• Commons:Deletion requests/File:HOLange2.jpg on a portrait photo of a man sitting with a book in a certain stance was concluded being a photographic work.

Maps

Certain maps produced by the Danish government in 1814 or later are subject to perpetual copyright.

This is covered by section 92 of the Danish copyright law. Currently, all maps made by da:Det Kongelige Søkort-Arkiv in 1814 or later, all maps made by da:Generalstabens topografiske Afdeling in 1831 or later and all maps made by their successors remain copyrighted in Denmark. The rights currently belong to da:Styrelsen for Dataforsyning og Effektivisering.

The Little Mermaid

The famous statue of The Little Mermaid by sculptor Edvard Eriksen (1876–1959) is protected by copyright until 2029, and pictures where it is the main motif cannot be used for commercial purposes.

Stamps

There appears to be no specific provision in the law for stamps and there are no special rules for works created by the government. So stamps are copyrighted following the normal terms of Life + 70 years after the death of the artist or Create/Publish + 70 years if they are created anonymously.
