Chapter VI Amendment of utility model applications 24. (1) Utility model claims shall not be amended so as to contain subject-matter not disclosed in the basic documents, cf. sections 25 and 28(1) of this Order. If a utility model claim is amended by the addition of new definitions, the applicant shall state at the same time where the new definitions have their counterparts in the basic documents. (2) Unless the Patent Authority allows otherwise, amendments or additions to claims shall be made by filing new copies of the claims. Those copies shall comprise all the maintained claims in their context. 25. (1) For Danish utility model applications, utility model applications for which examination and other processing are commenced under section 25 of the Utility Models Act and European patent applications for which conversion into a Danish utility model application is requested, the basic documents shall be held to be the description with accompanying drawings or photos and utility model claims drawn up in Danish, Norwegian or Swedish present at the filing of the application or on the date on which the application is deemed to have been filed, respectively. (2) If no such documents are present on the date referred to in subsection 1 hereof, the basic documents shall be held to be the translation of the description with accompanying drawings or photos and utility model claims filed in Danish, Norwegian or Swedish to the extent their contents appear clearly from the documents present on the date of filing of the application or the date on which the application is deemed to have been filed, respectively. (3) For international applications which are proceeded with under section 20 of the Utility Models Act, the basic documents shall be held to be the translation of the description, drawings or photos and utility model claims filed under the said provision with the amendments of the translation which may have been made prior to the expiry of the time limit applying under section 41 of this Order. If the international application is filed with the receiving Office in Danish, the basic documents shall be held to be the description, drawings or photos and utility model claims filed under section 20 of the Utility Models Act. (4) If with the consent of the applicant an application has resulted in registration, or the application has been refused prior to the expiry of a time limit applying under section 41 of this Order, cf. section 23 of the Utility Models Act, the basic documents shall be held to be the description, drawings or photos and utility model claims present at the time of deciding on the application.
