Founder's package for patents - because smart ideas deserve a strong start.

The trademark was refused - What now?

Many of the trademarks that are applied for registration in Norway are refused registration.

This is typical because

The products you want protection for are not clearly represented;
The mark lacks distinctive character; or
The mark is too similar to a registered mark.

Often, denial can be resolved with a few simple steps.

First factual statement from the Norwegian Industrial Property Office - What now?

What does it mean – and what should you do next?

The first substantive statement from the Norwegian Industrial Property Office is often the most important point in a patent application. Here you receive the Norwegian Industrial Property Office's initial assessment of whether your invention meets the conditions for a patent – and whether the patent claims provide a basis for protection.

How this feedback is handled can be crucial to the outcome of the case. With the right strategy, even a critical statement can be the start of the road to a strong patent.
