Back Repealed Text 
Details Details Year of Version 1993 Dates Entry into force: October 1, 1961 Adopted: August 4, 1961 Type of Text Implementing Rules/Regulations Subject Matter Trademarks, IP Regulatory Body Notes The notification by Norway to the WTO under article 63.2 of TRIPS states:
'The Regulations contain specific requirements regarding applications for trademarks, service marks and collective marks, e.g. the applicant's name and address, which goods and services the mark is applied for, the mark, etc. Furthermore, the Regulations contain rules regarding priority and special rights for certain applications for registration, opposition, the contents of the letter of registration, the trademark register, renewals, appeals and fees. The Regulations were amended per 1 January 1996 so that they now comply with the requirements of the TRIPS Agreement. Furthermore, consequential amendments to the Regulations are expected when the newly adopted amendments to the Trademarks Act enter into force (which most likely will be per 1 April 1996, but this will not affect compliance of the regulations with the requirements of the TRIPS Agreement).'

Section 1, third paragraph , of the Trade Marks Act.

Applications for Registration and Accompanying Documents

2. An application for registration of a trade mark shall be drawn up as a written communication to the Patent Office in Oslo, dated and signed by the applicant or his agent. The communication shall be in the Norwegian language, except where the Patent Office in individual cases finds that it will accept other languages. In addition to a reproduction of the trade mark and a request for its registration, the communication shall include information relating to:

(1) �
The name of the firm of the applicant or his full name together with his permanent place of business, and, where applicable, also the name of his agent and his permanent place of business or place of residence. For a collective mark, the location of the registered offices of the board of the applicant shall be stated.
(2) �
The type of business where the trade mark is to be used. For a collective mark, other provisions regarding the use of the mark shall be stated.
(3) �
The goods or classes of goods to which the application for registration relates.
(4) �
A list of enclosures.

Where registration of several trade marks is applied for at the same time, a separate application shall be filed for each individual mark.

3. An application for registration of a trade mark shall be accompanied by:

(1) �
Where the mark consists of letters, numbers or words in a distinctive shape or the mark consists of a figure, a picture of the mark in five copies. A picture is not required for a mark in black and white consisting of letters, numbers or words printed in ordinary types. Where the mark is in colour, an additional picture in black and white shall be submitted. The pictures must not exceed 75 mm in either height or width. Black and white pictures must lend themselves to offset reproduction. Where the mark is in colour and the production of pictures in colour involves particular difficulties or expense, the Patent Office may, prior to the mark being laid open to public inspection, accept black and white pictures accompanied by an exact specification of the colours and their location in the mark. In other instances the pictures shall not be accompanied by any explanation of the mark.
Where the application is for the registration of a packaging as a trade mark, a sufficient number of pictures, but not more than six, each in five copies, to show the entire packaging desired to be registered. Where the packaging is in colour, an additional set of black and white pictures shall be handed in. Where the Patent Office finds it necessary, a specimen of the packaging, if necessary a model on a reduced scale, shall be handed in for keeping at the Patent Office. The specimen or model must not exceed 40 cm in any direction or weigh more than 10 kg. Where there are such discrepancies between the depicted packaging, including any specification of colour, and the packaging as shown by the specimen or model that any doubt may arise as to the exact appearance of the registered packaging, the Patent Office may demand that the pictures and the specimen or model are brought into agreement. The fourth to the seventh sentences of the first paragraph shall apply correspondingly.
(2) �
Where the applicant is represented by an agent, a power of attorney. It shall appear from the power of attorney that the agent is authorized to represent the applicant in everything relating to the application, and, where the authority is to include also the registered trade mark, everything relating to this.
An applicant domiciled in this country may use an agent as provided for an applicant not domiciled in this country, cf. Section 31 of the Trade Marks Act, or restrict the authority as desired.
(3) �
The stipulated fee ( Section 31) .
(4) �
Where the applicant is not engaged in trade in Norway, the application for registration shall be accompanied by a transcript from the Register of Trade Marks in the domestic country of the applicant, showing that the trade mark is registered by him there in respect of the goods or classes of goods which the application for registration concerns (documentation of registration in country of domicile). This shall, however, not apply where the registration authority of his domestic country does not require such documentation for an application concerning a mark the registration of which is applied for by a trader in Norway.

4. On filing an application for registration of a trade mark, a fee shall be paid for processing the application, publication and registration of the mark for a period of ten years counted from the date of registration, cf. Section 22, first paragraph , of the Trade Marks Act.

The Patent Office may require that within a certain time limit, which shall not expire until three months from the date of filing the application, the applicant submits proof of the priority. Where this reqiurement is made and the applicant fails to submit such proof within the stipulated time limit, the application for registration shall be decided without regard to the claim for priority.

The time limits referred to in Sections 18 and 30 of the Trade Marks Act shall expire at the end of the office hours of the day having the same number of the month as the day of the beginning of the time limit. If there is no such number in the relevant month, the last day of the month shall be considered as the expiry date of the time limit. Where the last day of the time limit is a day on which the Patent Office is closed for filing of applications for registration, the time limit shall be extended to the first day when the Office is open for such filing.
  2. Anyone who, in accordance with Section 29 of the Trade Marks Act, files an application for registration of a trade mark such as it is registered in a foreign State (“telle quelle” registration, cf. Article 6 of the Paris Convention), shall inform the Patent Office of this in writing in the application or in the course of the processing of the application by the Patent Office. At the same time, documentation of the registration of the mark in the foreign State shall be submitted to the Patent Office. A transcript of the relevant leaf of the register in the foreign State shall be considered as documentation of its registration there, provided the transcript is certified by the registration authority of the State concerned.

Exclusion from Legal Protection
