Filing requirements

In order for us to file a design application on your behalf, we need:

  • The full name and address of the Applicant(s)
  • The full name and address of the Designer(s) (or designer groups/firm)
  • Clear pictures or drawings of the design
  • Priority data if priority is claimed (country, filing date and application number)

In addition, we need information on whether the design is to be registered in colours or black/white (or both), and if the Applicant wishes to have a voluntary supplementary search executed.

A copy of the priority document need not be filed, but the Norwegian Patent Office may request it at a later stage.

A Power of Attorney is only required when making changes in the application.

The Norwegian Patent Office uses the Locarno Classification system to classify the application.
