This would significantly reduce the burden of secrecy reviews across the globe and enhance the possibilities of multinational scientific and technological cooperation. 17. If you believe such a requirement is appropriate, please propose an international standard for obtaining a foreign filing license. The Danish group is of the opinion that there should not be any requirement of foreign filing licenses except for inventions of war materials. The international standard for obtaining a foreign filing license should be a ''self-assessment'' model (see above reply to question 9). 18. Please propose an international standard for an ability to cure or repair an inadvertent failure to comply with a first filing requirement or a security review requirement. The answer to the above question depends in large on whether the application has been published or not. If the application remains unpublished at the time the filing error is discovered, a simple retroactive filing check by the relevant national patent office should suffice as remedy. If the application is published, national laws governing liability and sanctions become effective. Where a self-assessment system like the Danish filing system is in place, an unintentional error in the self-assessment should be curable. 19. Please propose any other standards relating to multinational inventions (excluding those related to inventor remuneration or ownership of the invention) that you feel would be appropriate. The Danish group has no additional suggestions. Please comment on any additional issues concerning the multinational inventions you consider relevant to this Working Question. Summary Inventorship is a concept not defined under Danish law and there is limited case law on this subject. The Danish group suggests that an independent, intellectual contribution to/directed at the invention is required for inventorship.
