Norway
trademark registration is filed with the Norwegian Industrial Property Office
(NIPO) of Norway. Norway is not a member of the European Union and an EU
trademark (OHIM) does not cover Norway. A standard Community trademark will not
prevent third parties neither registering nor using your trademark in Norway.
Foreign applicants wanting to protect their trademarks in Norway must file a
separate application with the Norwegian Industrial Property Office (NIPO) or
specifically include Norway in an international trademark registration under
the Madrid Protocol.

Norway Trademark Registration Procedure
The
Norway trademark registration procedure is formed of the following main steps:
1.
Checking the availability of the trademark in Norway. This report will inform
upon the probability of the trademark registration to be successful. The
Examination looks for characteristics of the trademark application but also for
similarity to other registered Norwegian trademarks or European community
trademarks. Also the examination looks into the confusion which might be
created by the trademark with other Intellectual property, including but not
limited to copyright or geographical origin denominations.
2.
Filing the actual application for the Registration of the Trademark in Norway.
The file will of course be processed beforehand by specialized Norwegian
Intellectual Property Lawyers or Agent.
3.
Obtaining the confirmation of the successful registration of the trademark in
Norway and subsequently obtaining of the Norwegian Trademark Registration
Certificate.
Term of Norway Trademark Protection
The
term of Norway trademark protection is ten years from the date of
registration. The Norway trademark may
be renewed for additional ten year terms within six months of the expiration
date of the mark's present term.
