There is no general principle for the use of copyright-protected material comparable to the fair use/fair dealing principles. Directive 2001/29/EC defines an optional but exhaustive set of limitations from the author´s exclusive rights under the control of the “three-step test” in line with the Berne Convention that establishes three cumulative conditions to the limitations and exceptions of a copyright holder’s rights. The Directive has been transposed by Member States with significant freedom.
In general, the Danish copyright regulation corresponds to the scope of exceptions and limitations set out in the Copyright Directive. Accordingly, the three-step test originating in the Berne Convention applies to all the provided exceptions and limitations. Chapter 2 of the Danish Consolidate Act on Copyright contains a comprehensive list of copyright exceptions.

The Directive 2016/943 on the protection of undisclosed know-how and business information (trade secrets) is key in harmonising national laws concerning trade secrets. In 2018, Denmark updated its Trade Secret Legislation.

The new Act introduces a definition of trade secrets, legal remedies and compensation.

Such written request shall specify the elements of the project for which the access is requested, including a specific time frame.

In March 2023, Denmark's Ministry of Defence banned TikTok from all official work devices, citing significant cybersecurity concerns. The decision followed an assessment by the Center for Cyber Security, part of the country's foreign intelligence service, which identified a risk of espionage due to the app's data access permissions. The Ministry emphasized that there was a very limited work-related need for the app and mandated its removal from all service phones and other official devices. In response, TikTok stated that the ban was implemented without citing specific security concerns or consulting the company.

The Danish Public Procurement Act (part 1, section 3) states that a contracting authority shall treat economic operators or services from member states of the European Union or the European Economic Area equally to Danish economic operators and services. Economic operators and services from other countries shall also be treated equally to Danish operators, to the extent that this follows from international obligations incumbent on Denmark or the European Union.

Art. 85 of the Utilities Directive (2014/25/EU) contains provisions allowing contracting public entities to reject foreign goods not covered by any EU international commitments from its tender procedures. In these cases, a tender submitted for the award of a supply contract may be rejected where the proportion of the products originating in third countries exceeds 50% of the total value of the products constituting the tender (Art. 85.2). Additionally, in cases of equivalent offers, the provisions provide for a preference for European tenders and tenders covered by EU's international obligations. In practice, this possibility has rarely been used.
Although the Danish Public Procurement Act has not directly included Art. 85 of the Utilities Directive (2014/25/EU), it states that contracting entities shall comply with the provisions of the Utilities Directive.
