Use this form to file a new application for registration of a trademark or a collective mark in Norway. If this is the first time you apply for a trademark or if you would like your application to be processed faster, we recommend that you follow this link to find more information and to find the application form. A trademark is a name, logo or other characteristic that identifies your goods and services. A collective mark gives the members of an association of businesses or a public authority exclusive rights to use a trademark, or other symbols for its goods and services. Individuals can not be assigned exclusive rights to collective marks.
Start serviceA trademark is a means of distinguishing your products from the products of others, for example in connection with marketing and sales. The trademark may consist of various elements, e.g. words, phrases, images, symbols or a combination of these, or other characteristics. If you have a trademark, your customers will better recognise and choose your products again because they differ from your competitors.
If the applicant has chosen to use a representative, the NIPO will communicate only with the representative in any correspondence regarding the application.
You can apply as an individual or on behalf of an organisation. If you represent an organisation, you must have the Altinn role Patent, varemerke og design.
