What is the Norwegian Industrial Property Office (Patentstyret)?
An agency under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries that processes applications and grants rights for patents, trademarks, and designs in Norway.
- A competence center for knowledge about IPR.
- An active partner for research, innovation environments, and businesses.
- How can the Norwegian Industrial Property Office help you?
If you are in the startup phase with a company or have an idea you are considering pursuing, it is important for you to have a conscious approach to intellectual property rights (IPR) and develop an IPR strategy. One of our tasks is to increase knowledge about IPR in Norway.
Patentstyret offers free services to:
- Guide you on how to apply for a patent, trademark, or register a design.
- Provide you with an overview of the technological area you are working in. Do you know who your biggest competitors are?
- Give you basic training in search strategies in patent databases so that you can stay updated yourself.
If you cannot wait with your questions until the next time we visit, feel free to contact us through our website or send an email to the Norwegian Industrial Property Office.
We look forward to meeting you at OsloMet and helping you on your way to turning your ideas into value!
