Our Preliminary Search Service can provide you with useful information both before and after you file your application for a patent, a trademark or a design. This information can save you unnecessary expenses, and allow better management of your rights.

We offer several monitoring services. We can give you a report on your competitor's activities, on a particular technical field, over specific trademarks, or on other areas in which you wish to keep up to date with the latest developments.

We hold lectures on industrial property rights for companies and tertiary education. We adjust the level and scope to suit your requirements.

If you have questions, you can ring our Information Centre, or visit us here in Oslo. We can answer questions concerning the application process, and general information on industrial property rights. We can also help you find patent information or search our databases.
