Here you will find the fees and charges the Norwegian Industrial Property Office requires in the trademark area. Those who choose to hire professional advice and those who seek protection abroad must calculate a higher total cost than what appears in this overview.
First application for a trademark
If you want to apply for trademark registration in Norway, you can submit a Norwegian trademark application. If you want to use the priority from the Norwegian application to apply for trademark registration in other countries, you must do this within 6 months from the application date. Priority means that your foreign application obtains protection from the same date as the Norwegian application.
- application fee for a Norwegian trademark application, including 1 class: NOK 3,800
- price per additional class: NOK 1,000
-
for the NIPO's processing of an application for international registration of a trademark: NOK 800
