Financial Times: Håmsø Patentbyrå Among Europe’s Top Firms – for the Sixth Consecutive Year

For the sixth year in a row, Håmsø Patentbyrå has been ranked as one of Europe’s leading patent firms by the Financial Times, in collaboration with the research company Statista. We are proud to be included on the list – once again! This recognition is a clear acknowledgment of the work we do – every day, all year round.

The Ⓓ symbol for registered design – what you should know.

From May 1, 2025, everyone who has a registered design – whether in the EU or Norway – can use a brand new symbol: Ⓓ. This symbol serves for designs what the © symbol does for copyright and the ® symbol does for trademarks. We recommend that our clients start using Ⓓ as soon as their design is registered; the clearer you show your ownership, the harder it becomes for others to copy you.

From Lab to Law – Astri’s Journey into the Patent Profession

When you have a Master's degree in nanotechnology from NTNU and a PhD from the University of Oslo, a career as a patent advisor may not seem like the obvious choice. For Astri, who joined Håmsø Patent Agency in 2021, it was a coincidence that led her into this specialized industry – a field that has opened doors to an entirely new world of innovation and challenges.

Our collaboration partners

Since our founding in 1950, we have built a solid international network of professional partners through experience and personal meetings, assisting where local representation is required. Among our many partners are CMS Kluge and AIPEX, both of which play an important role in our local and global network.
