Chapter 1. General provisions on the submission of documents and payments to the Norwegian

Industrial Property Office and the Norwegian Board of Appeal for Industrial Property Rights

Section 1. An application for a trademark, design or patent, or other document in a case for

consideration by the Norwegian Industrial Property Office concerning such rights, shall be filed in the

manner provided for in this section, either directly with the Norwegian Industrial Property Office or

via Altinn.

The filing of an application or other document via Altinn must be done electronically in a technically

approved format.

Delivery to the Norwegian Industrial Property Office can either take place directly in a paper format

or by electronic transfer. The postal address, e-mail address or fax number provided by the

Norwegian Industrial Property Office must be used. The signature on an application or other

document may be handwritten, printed, stamped or electronic in accordance with the standard

provided for by the Industrial Property Office at all times.

An application or document submitted in another manner than described in the first to third

paragraphs is deemed not to have been filed.

The provisions concerning applications set out in this Regulation also apply to registered trademarks

and designs, and to granted patents, unless it is clear from the context that this is not the case.

The Norwegian Industrial Property Office issues more detailed provisions about how electronic

communication can take place, including which electronic formats may be used.

If a request for an administrative review or an opposition is filed in paper format, one extra copy of

the request and enclosures shall be filed for each of the other parties to the case.

Section 2. In the case of electronic transfers to the Norwegian Industrial Property Office pursuant to

Section 1, the filing date can be a working day or a holiday. For other means of filing, the working day

on which the application or other document is deemed to have been received will be the filing date.

'Filing date' pursuant to Section 1 means:

1. In the case of an electronic transfer via Altinn: the date on which receipt of the transfer is

confirmed.

2. In the case of electronic transfer to the e-mail address stipulated by the Norwegian Industrial

Property Office: the date on which receipt of the transfer is confirmed by the Norwegian

Industrial Property Office's electronic mail system.

3. In the case of a fax sent to the fax number stipulated by the Norwegian Industrial Property

Office: the date on which the complete transmission is received by the Norwegian Industrial

Property Office.

4.

5.

In the case of delivery in paper format to the Norwegian Industrial Property Office's office

during opening hours: the working day on which the application or other document is received

by the Norwegian Industrial Property Office.

In case of delivery in the mailbox of the Norwegian Industrial Property Office outside opening

hours: The following working day.

Section 3. The deadline for the payment of fees is set by the Norwegian Industrial Property Office,

and it shall normally be 30 days, unless a different deadline follows from laws or regulations.

In the case of fees invoiced by the Norwegian Industrial Property Office, the payment information on

the invoice must be used when payment is made. In the case of fees that the Norwegian Industrial

Property Office does not invoice, payment must be made to the Norwegian Industrial Property

Office's account. It must be stated what the payment concerns.

Section 4. A fee to be paid to the Norwegian Industrial Property Office is deemed to have been paid

on the date on which payment is registered in the Norwegian Industrial Property Office's account.

If the fee is paid to a foreign bank or post office, payment is deemed to have been made on the date

on which it is stamped at a Norwegian post office or bank.

Fees that are paid too late, cf. Section 3, are deemed not to have been paid. The Norwegian

Industrial Property Office may nonetheless deem payment to have taken place on time if the party

making the payment substantiates that an irrevocable payment order was issued before expiry of the

deadline.

This provision applies correspondingly to payments that are to take place via the Norwegian

Industrial Property Office in international registration systems.

Section 5. If a payment deadline expires on a Saturday, a holiday or a day which, by law, is deemed to

be equivalent to a holiday, the deadline is extended until the next working day.

Section 6. Unless otherwise stated in the notification, the deadline for responding to a notification

from the Norwegian Industrial Property Office is calculated from the date on which the notification

was sent. If a specific expiry date for the deadline is not stated in the notification, the deadline

expires on the day of the month that corresponds numerically to the date on which the deadline

started to run. If there is no corresponding date in the month in question, the deadline is deemed to

expire on the last day of the month. If the deadline expires on a Saturday, a holiday or a day that, by

law, is deemed to be equivalent to a holiday, the deadline will expire on the first working day after

the expiry date.

The deadline for responding to a notification as mentioned in the first paragraph is two months,

unless otherwise decided by law or by the Norwegian Industrial Property Office in each individual

case.

Unless otherwise laid down by law, the first and second paragraphs apply correspondingly to other

deadlines pursuant to the Patents Act, Business Names Act, Design Act, Trademarks Act and

lndustrial Property Office Act.

The deadline for correcting errors or deficiencies in an application or other documents can be

extended by the Norwegian Industrial Property Office unless otherwise set forth by law. A request

for the extension of a deadline must, in such case, be filed with the Norwegian Industrial Property

Office no later than on the date the deadline expires.

Section 7. Everyone may request:

1. a certified copy of the trademark register, the design register and of the patent register;

2. a copy of a trademark application, with appendices;

3. a copy of a patent application, with a description, drawings, abstract and claim;

4. a copy of a printed Norwegian patent application published for examination of novelty or

patent specification;

5. a copy of an application for the registration of a design, with appendices.

On request, the Norwegian Industrial Property Office may issue and send a priority document

pursuant to Rule 17.1(b) of the rules implementing the Patent Cooperation Treaty.

The fee for a certified transcript and copies as mentioned in the first and second paragraphs is

decided by the Norwegian Industrial Property Office and shall follow from the list of fees on the

Norwegian Industrial Property Office's website.

This provision applies correspondingly to electronic documents with the same contents.

Section 8. The provisions of this chapter apply correspondingly to the filing of documents with the

Norwegian Board of Appeal for Industrial Property Rights (the 'Board of Appeal').

Appeals to the Board of Appeal and any enclosures shall be submitted to the Norwegian Industrial

Property Office.

Once the Norwegian Industrial Property Office has sent the appeal to the Board of Appeal, any

further communications in the case shall be addressed to the Board of Appeal. Between parties that

are represented by representatives, submissions in the case shall be sent directly to the opposing

party at the same time as they are sent to the Board of Appeal.

The Board of Appeal sets deadlines for submitting responses and further written communications in

the appeals case.
