This article is intended to be a guide for researchers who seek information in English about Swedish intellectual property law. It should be stated at the outset that it is not possible to thoroughly research Swedish law by only consulting works published in English. Considerable information exists in English, but it is selective in coverage and often does not reflect recent developments. Despite these limitations, the English language sources discussed in this guide will provide a useful foundation from which to consult experts in the field.

Denmark, Norway, and Sweden are among the most technologically advanced countries in the world. It is not surprising, therefore, to find sophisticated online systems offering extensive access to legal information in each country. This article briefly traces the development of online legal information in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. In addition, it provides a country by country overview of the legal databases and online guides to electronic legal resources that are currently available. Most of the databases discussed can be accessed, wholly or in part, without charge via the Internet. A few are restricted to paid subscribers or are available only on CD-ROM. It should be noted that, while Denmark and Sweden are members of the European Union, this article does not cover the databases in either country specifically devoted to European Union law.
