If you are to make the right decisions, you need to ask the right questions, - and you should do this as early on in the process as possible.
Our services are divided into categories: patents, trademarks and designs. If you have other requirements than those listed, please contact us and let us know what you need. We have engineers, lawyers, librarians and experienced experts, ready to supply you with important information – to help you make the right decisions.
And the best of all - you will receive this information within a few days!
You can order a preliminary search for trademarks, patents and designs. For reasons of security and traceability, we recommend that Norwegian residents and companies operating in Norway use the online form in Altinn.
NB: The preliminary search service is a paid service.

We are bound to observe professional secrecy and will handle your enquiry confidentially.
The Norwegian Industrial Property Office's search services are ISO-certified under the international standard certification system.
Our searches are carried out in publicly available information. The result of the report you receive from us is not binding for the subsequent processing of an application by the Norwegian Industrial Property Office.
In some cases, we may not be able to carry out the search you have requested. For example, if the search is linked to a lawsuit.
It is also possible to check the our database yourself using our Search Service. There you will find all publicly available information about trademarks, patents and designs in Norway - completely free.
