Trademark Registration in Norway- Protect Your Brand Nationwide

Trademarks in Norway are administered by the Norwegian Industrial Property Office (NIPO – Patentstyret). As a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), Norway’s system is highly harmonized with EU standards. Norway is also a member of the Madrid Protocol. NIPO conducts a formal examination and a substantive examination for both absolute grounds and relative grounds.

The Norway trademark registration system follows a structured sequence of reviews, publications, and legal checks. These steps ensure that trademarks meet all statutory requirements and remain protected over time.

1

Filing

The trademark application is submitted to NIPO electronically. Once submitted, NIPO assigns a filing date and begins processing.

2

Examination

NIPO reviews the application for compliance with formal and substantive criteria (distinctiveness, compliance with the Trademark Act). If there are issues, NIPO will contact the applicant to resolve them.

3

Acceptance & Publication

After filing, the application and related correspondence are published in the NIPO Trademark Register (usually within a few days).

4

Opposition Period

Norway has a post-registration opposition system: once the trademark is registered and published, there is a 3-month period during which third parties can file an opposition/cancellation if they believe the registration was incorrect.

5

Registration

If no opposition or opposition proceedings do not prevent registration, the trademark is registered, and NIPO issues the Registration Certificate.

6

Validity & Renewal

A registered A Norwegian trademark registration is valid for 10 years from the filing date. It may be renewed indefinitely for successive 10-year terms upon payment of renewal fees before expiry.
