Payment deadlines are final

You must pay the fee or charge well before the deadline in order to avoid late fees, and the possible dismissal of your application or patent, trademark or design registration. The fee should be in NIPO's bank account on the due date.

Early payment: 
Design: You can pay the renewal fee for design at the earliest one year before the payment deadline.

Patent: The annual fee for a patent can be paid at the earliest 6 months before the payment deadline.

Trademarks: The renewal fee for trademarks:

• Trademark registrations that expire before 1 March 2024: Registrations can be renewed at the earliest one year before the payment deadline and no later than six months after.
• Trademark registrations that expire up to and including 1 March 2024: Registrations can be renewed at the earliest six months before the registration deadline and no later than six months after.
• This is due to the transitional rules in connection with new regulations.

Refunds

If you pay more than the amount due, but less than NOK 300, this sum will not be reimbursed unless you request it.
