The company was founded in Milan in 1860 and is today among Italy\u2019s leading producers of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, with operations and distribution across large parts of the world. The group\u2019s most famous product is CAMPARI, an iconic liqueur with a distinctive red colour and taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The case arose when Campari Group became aware that another company had obtained registration in Norway for a combined trade mark containing the word CAMPARI. The registration did not cover alcoholic beverages, but included, among other things, toothpaste, cosmetics and shampoo. Although these are goods of a different nature from those traditionally associated with CAMPARI, Campari Group wished to protect the strong brand identity and the associations represented by its trade mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Campari Group therefore contacted H\u00e5ms\u00f8 Patent Agency for assistance in enforcing its rights. On behalf of Campari Group, we filed an opposition with the Norwegian Industrial Property Office, arguing that CAMPARI qualifies as a well-known trade mark. The Office upheld the opposition in full, and the contested trade mark was cancelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This outcome demonstrates how a well-known trade mark can provide effective protection even outside the core area of the trade mark\u2019s registered goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To understand the scope of this protection, we first take a closer look at the general rules governing trade marks \u2013 and at what specifically characterises well-known trade marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The general rule in trade mark law<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The basic principle of trade mark law is that a trade mark is protected in relation to the goods and services for which it is registered. This means that, in principle, others may use the same or a similar mark for entirely different products, provided there is no risk of confusion for the relevant public.<\/p>\n<p>In Norway, there are several examples of identical or similar signs being used side by side for different goods and services. The trade mark <strong>SAGA<\/strong> is used in parallel by various independent parties, including Saga Funeral Services, Saga Mobile and DNB\u2019s customer programme Saga. Although the names are identical, they relate to different types of services and target different audiences. Consumers therefore do not expect any commercial connection, and the marks can coexist without difficulty.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Extended protection for well-known trade marks under the Trade Marks Act<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Where a trade mark is known by a significant part of the relevant public, the Trade Marks Act may grant it extended protection, cf. section 4, second paragraph. For trade marks that are well known in Norway, this means that others may not use identical or similar signs in the course of trade \u2013 even for goods or services of the same or a different kind \u2013 if such use, without due cause, would result in unfair advantage being taken of, or detriment to, the distinctive character or reputation of the well-known trade mark, often referred to as goodwill. Protection under this provision is reserved for trade marks whose goodwill value is out of the ordinary.<\/p>\n<p>This means that the law not only protects against confusion, but also against others taking advantage of, or weakening, the value built up around a well-known trade mark. The provision is therefore intended to prevent others from free-riding on the efforts and investments behind the development of a well-known brand.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How the rules on well-known trade marks were applied in the CAMPARI case<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/campari-1668534-2-683x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/campari-1668534-2-683x1024.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/campari-1668534-2-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/campari-1668534-2-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/campari-1668534-2-1024x1536.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/campari-1668534-2-1365x2048.jpeg 1365w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/campari-1668534-2-8x12.jpeg 8w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/campari-1668534-2-scaled.jpeg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>In the CAMPARI case, it was not sufficient merely to rely on the fact that the trade mark is registered for alcoholic beverages. In order to obtain protection under the rules on well-known trade marks, it had to be demonstrated that CAMPARI holds such a position and level of distinctiveness that it is entitled to extended protection under section 4, second paragraph of the Trade Marks Act.<\/p>\n<p>In the opposition, H\u00e5ms\u00f8 Patent Agency therefore placed considerable emphasis on documenting CAMPARI\u2019s position in the Norwegian market over time. Extensive evidence was submitted demonstrating the mark\u2019s long history, continuous use and high visibility in Norway, including sales figures and references in media and encyclopaedias. This documentation was submitted to substantiate that CAMPARI is a well-known trade mark entitled to extended protection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>On the basis of the evidence submitted, the Norwegian Industrial Property Office concluded that the word mark CAMPARI is well known. The Office further found that the contested mark and CAMPARI are similar.<\/p>\n<p>NIPO then stated that alcoholic beverages and goods such as shampoo, cosmetics and toothpaste are clearly goods \u201cof a different kind\u201d. The decisive question was whether use of the later mark would nevertheless be capable of triggering an association with the well-known mark in the mind of the average consumer. On this point, the Office agreed with H\u00e5ms\u00f8 Patent Agency\u2019s arguments. It was emphasised that CAMPARI is used for a drink with a highly distinctive red colour and taste. These are characteristics that are also relevant for a range of cosmetic products, toothpaste and mouthwash. NIPO further referred to evidence we had submitted showing a trend whereby make-up and aesthetics are adapted to specific drinks. In addition, it was emphasised that CAMPARI has no linguistic meaning and therefore appears as a highly distinctive trade mark.<\/p>\n<p>On this basis, NIPO concluded that use of the later mark, which the proprietor sought to register for various personal care and cosmetic products, would create an association with the well-known trade mark CAMPARI.<\/p>\n<p>NIPO further assessed the effects of such an association. It was held that the use could both cause detriment to the distinctive character of the well-known trade mark and constitute unfair advantage being taken of CAMPARI\u2019s reputation and distinctiveness. Consumers could form new associations with the mark, which over time would weaken its ability to identify the proprietor\u2019s goods. This would in turn reduce CAMPARI\u2019s eye-catching effect and lead to dilution of its strong brand identity.<\/p>\n<p>NIPO also agreed that the association would amount to a form of \u201cfree-riding\u201d, as the later mark would exploit the goodwill and visual appeal that CAMPARI has built up over more than 150 years. The relationship between the goods and the use of the well-known mark could give the relevant public the impression of a commercial connection, thereby transferring CAMPARI\u2019s image and reputation to the later mark.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CAMPARI is a clear example of how strong trade marks require active protection. Where value, reputation and distinctiveness are at stake, it is crucial to safeguard the rights and brand value built up over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you need assistance with registering or protecting your trade mark?

In other words, it must be capable of functioning as an identifier of someone\u2019s goods or services. The mark needs something that makes it stick in consumers\u2019 minds. A word mark should be easy to remember and recognise, and a logo must have something more distinctive than a simple geometric shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A trademark also cannot be purely descriptive of the goods or services. Words and symbols that describe characteristics, purpose or qualities will normally not be seen as anyone\u2019s exclusive sign, and such terms must remain available to all players in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From lacking distinctiveness to protected trademark<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If a mark is initially descriptive or lacks distinctiveness, it can still gain protection through acquired distinctiveness. This occurs when a significant part of the relevant public perceives the mark as indicating commercial origin. A mark that has acquired distinctiveness can be protected even without registration. It may also be registered with the Norwegian Industrial Property Office if you can document that it is \u201cwell known as someone\u2019s distinctive sign\u201d in Norway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For us, this is a key focus when we help clients register marks that do not initially meet the requirements for distinctiveness. We assess whether the mark has sufficient distinctiveness and, if not, advise on how targeted use and documentation can lay the groundwork for acquired distinctiveness. We also assist with submitting an application to the Norwegian Industrial Property Office once the conditions for acquired distinctiveness are considered fulfilled. In this way, owners of marks that have gained a strong position in the market can more easily enforce their rights.\nWould you like to secure your trademark? We are happy to help \u2013 get in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patent.no\/en\/contact\/#brxe-c1d2cc\">get in touch<\/a> or read more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patent.no\/en\/trademark\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Zalo\u00ae trademark faces no such challenge, as it is not descriptive of soap and is therefore distinctive. Even so, the Zalo\u00ae campaign illustrates how consistent and extensive use of a mark can create an especially strong market position. Even registered marks with inherent distinctiveness may benefit from invoking acquired distinctiveness in addition to registration. This provides an extra layer of protection, as we will look at below, and serves as clear evidence of a successful branding strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What does the Norwegian Industrial Property Office (NIPO) say about acquired distinctiveness?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Proving that a trademark has acquired distinctiveness requires extensive documentation, such as market share, intensity of use, marketing efforts and surveys showing that people associate the mark with a single specific business.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A trademark receives nationwide protection only if it is known throughout Norway for the relevant goods or services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Acquired distinctiveness can also provide exclusive rights on a local level, but registration cannot be claimed on that basis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can read more about acquired distinctiveness from the Norwegian Industrial Property Office here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patentstyret.no\/en\/trademark\/establishment-by-use\">Establishment by use<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The shop shelf and peripheral vision<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/iStock-534400694-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3226\" style=\"width:316px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/iStock-534400694-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/iStock-534400694-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/iStock-534400694-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/iStock-534400694-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/iStock-534400694-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/iStock-534400694-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-stretch is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>Marketing is not just about TV commercials and full-page adverts. In the shop we often move with our eyes in motion \u2013 we squint, scan the shelves in our peripheral vision, and make decisions in seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Strongly established brand elements allow the brain to recognise a product even when we catch only a flash of its colour or outline. It is a bit like recognising a friend from afar by their walk or hairstyle. For a market leader this is gold: you win both in conscious attention and in that fast, subconscious recognition.<\/p>\n<p>But even strong distinctiveness can fade. If a colour or shape becomes generic \u2013 or is not defended against imitators \u2013 the distinctiveness may be lost. If shop shelves fill up with \u201clookalikes\u201d from budget ranges using the same colour and shape, consumers will not necessarily reach for the original. That is why active enforcement is a key task for the brand owner to maintain market position.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The bottle\u2019s shape and colour \u2013 protection without registration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The Zalo\u00ae advertising campaign has achieved something important: reminding consumers \u2013 and competitors \u2013 who \u201cowns\u201d this particular combination of green and yellow colours and the bottle silhouette, as well as the slogan \u201cen dr\u00e5pe er nok\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The recent dispute over ownership of the colour <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrk.no\/trondelag\/ny-seier-for-stratos-i-sjokoladestrid_-far-enerett-pa-blafargen-1.17476608\">Stratos\u00ae-blue<\/a> shows how important such reminders can be. They can reinforce a brand\u2019s position if it is later challenged. In the Stratos case, the appeal board emphasised, among other things, that Stratos\u00ae has been sold in blue packaging since 1936 and had therefore \u201cworn its way to distinctiveness\u201d. Such long-standing and consistent use is precisely what can make colours and shapes legally protected, even without registration.<\/p>\n<p>The Zalo\u00ae bottle has been a fixture in Norwegian kitchens for decades. This means competitors must tread carefully if they come too close to this combination of shape and colour. At the same time, it is worth noting that green is a very common colour choice for washing-up liquids in general. It would therefore be almost impossible to gain exclusive rights to the green colour alone. But combined with the bottle\u2019s shape and the yellow cap, consistent marketing over time can build acquired distinctiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When fragments are enough<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Zalo\u00ae\u2019s campaign shows that you don\u2019t always need to display the entire product or brand to make a clear statement. A green-and-yellow colour tone, the familiar bottle silhouette and the slogan \u201cEn dr\u00e5pe er nok\u201d are enough for consumers to immediately link it to Zalo\u00ae and washing-up liquid. This ability to be recognised from only parts of the brand is the result of long-term, consistent use, and demonstrates how strongly established elements can serve both as powerful creative tools and as legal protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"858\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Design-uten-navn-5-1024x858.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3241 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Design-uten-navn-5-1024x858.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Design-uten-navn-5-300x252.png 300w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Design-uten-navn-5-768x644.png 768w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Design-uten-navn-5-1536x1288.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Design-uten-navn-5-14x12.png 14w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Design-uten-navn-5.png 1763w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Coca-Cola\u00ae has also used a similar strategy several times. They have replaced the famous brand name with words like \u201cSis\u201d, \u201cBro\u201d or various personal names, while keeping the characteristic red colour and design. As a result, the brand remains instantly recognisable, even without the name.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This also shows why companies should think carefully before rebranding established trademarks. Changes to shape, colour or other distinctive elements can weaken the recognition built up over many years \u2013 and with it the value in both the market and legal protection. That does not mean brands should never refresh themselves; they must adapt to time and trend. But changes should be made with a clear understanding of what truly creates distinctiveness and recognition. Otherwise, you risk dismantling more than you build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How we can help you protect your brand<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For more than 75 years, H\u00e5ms\u00f8 has helped businesses protect and develop their brands.

Without registration, others may beat you to it \u2013 or already hold rights that could block your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before investing in a launch and building your brand, you should check whether the name or trademark is both available and suitable. A name that works well at home may have an unfortunate meaning in another language \u2013 or already be registered abroad. Many only discover this too late, and end up in costly disputes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Norwegian company experienced this in Germany, where a nearly identical name had already been registered. The result was a rejected application and an expensive rebranding process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid such pitfalls, we recommend conducting preliminary searches and applying for registration in the relevant countries as early as possible. This way, you can build your brand securely and sustainably, without fearing disputes or demands to change your trademark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Preliminary Search<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At H\u00e5ms\u00f8, we offer preliminary searches both in Norway and internationally. Such a check can save you time, money, and a lot of headaches\u2014especially if you\u2019re aiming to expand beyond your home borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the right strategy and thorough preliminary research, you lay a solid foundation for growth and a protected brand. We assess each case individually and recommend the strategy that best suits your business and market plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Other Common Pitfalls<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 36%\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>A common reason for refusal of international applications is that the goods and services list is not tailored to the national regulations of each country. This often results in time-consuming and costly additional rounds in each individual market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have international ambitions, it\u2019s often worthwhile to start with a Norwegian base application prepared with expansion in mind. This allows the goods and services list to be tailored from the outset, ensuring it works in the markets you aim to enter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With our help in drafting a comprehensive goods and services list from the start, you\u2019ll have a solid foundation that not only makes the process smoother and more predictable but can also save you significant costs in the long run.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/flagg-pa-kart-gratis-pexels-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3198 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/flagg-pa-kart-gratis-pexels-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/flagg-pa-kart-gratis-pexels-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/flagg-pa-kart-gratis-pexels-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/flagg-pa-kart-gratis-pexels-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/flagg-pa-kart-gratis-pexels-1-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/flagg-pa-kart-gratis-pexels-1-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/flagg-pa-kart-gratis-pexels-1-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Timing Your International Application<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>As a general rule, we recommend registering your trademark in the countries where you expect activity within a three to five-year timeframe. This way, you stay ahead and avoid others securing the rights before you.<\/p>\n<p>If you have ambitions for international expansion but have not yet applied in Norway, we usually recommend starting with a Norwegian base application and then filing internationally within six months. This gives you priority from the Norwegian filing date, meaning your international applications are treated as if they were submitted on the same day as the Norwegian one.<\/p>\n<p>This gives you an advantage by preserving your original place in the queue. As a result, no one else can step in and secure the rights to the same trademark during the period between the Norwegian application and the international filings. Priority thus acts as a \u201cfirst right,\u201d preventing competitors from stealing your idea or blocking your entry into new markets.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Three different ways to register your trademark abroad<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>EU trademark \u2013 one application system for all EU member states<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The EU has a shared trademark register that applies across all member states. An EU trademark (EUTM) therefore provides broad protection through a single application and can be a highly effective solution if Europe is a key market for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An EU application is independent of a Norwegian base registration, and we can assist you with applying directly to the EUIPO. This makes it a good and cost-effective option if you don\u2019t require protection outside the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If, on the other hand, you plan to expand into markets outside Europe, or into European countries that are not part of the EU, the Madrid Protocol is usually the best solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>H\u00e5ms\u00f8 helps you assess whether an EU trademark is the right solution for you \u2013 and we ensure your application is handled correctly from start to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Madrid Protocol \u2013 flexible registration in over 100 countries<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>With the Madrid Protocol, you can apply for international trademark registration through a single application to the international office WIPO in Geneva, designating over 100 countries. You choose which markets are relevant and pay fees accordingly. The application is then examined by the authorities in the countries you have selected.<\/p>\n<p>The system offers great flexibility and can be more cost-effective than applying country by country. At the same time, it\u2019s important to have a clear strategy to ensure you select the markets most relevant to your business.<\/p>\n<p>We help you find the most cost-effective route to international protection and manage the submission and follow-up process, so you avoid unnecessary detours and extra costs.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>National trademark applications<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>A national trademark application is submitted directly to the national registration authorities through local agents. Such applications are suitable if you only want to protect your trademark in one country, or if that country is not a member of the Madrid Protocol.<\/p>\n<p>H\u00e5ms\u00f8 has an extensive network of professional partners who assist in securing your trademark rights abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How we help you<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At H\u00e5ms\u00f8 Patentbyr\u00e5, you get a partner who supports you throughout the entire process \u2013 from preliminary searches and strategy to filing applications. We also assist with monitoring, oppositions, and other formal requirements along the way, and we\u2019ll send you a reminder when it\u2019s time to renew your trademark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We offer 30 minutes of free consultation to new clients. Feel free to tell us which trademark you are considering registering, and we\u2019ll provide an initial assessment of its registrability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With us on your side, you can confidently grow your brand \u2013 even beyond Norway\u2019s borders.

To be granted a patent, your invention must be new, involve an inventive step, be capable of industrial application, and not be excluded from patent eligibility. A patent offers up to 20\u202fyears of protection for your invention.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A registered design protects a product\u2019s appearance: its shape, pattern, colour, decoration, and configuration. This is ideal for products where visual appeal is a key differentiator. A registered design can typically last up to 25 years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide\"><strong>The benefits of choosing the UK for filing a patent application<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you decide to file a patent application, you must choose which country to file in first before deciding whether to expand to other countries or regions. Choosing the UK as your first country offers several strategic advantages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Speed<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you file your patent application in the UK, you will normally receive a combined search and examination report within six months. This is much faster than other jurisdictions. For example, you could be waiting three years for the European Patent Office to start their examination process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UK also sets a deadline of four and a half years for a patent application to be ready for grant. This can stop the process dragging on for many years, giving you, your competitors, and your investors more certainty about the protection your patent gives you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what if you need the process to move even faster? Perhaps you suspect someone has already copied your invention, or you need a quick decision to help with a funding application. The UK offers several flexible options to accelerate the patent process, including a scheme specifically for environmentally friendly inventions. An accelerated patent application is assessed in only two months and can be granted within around eight months!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cost<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The official fees charged for patents in the UK are exceptionally low. While the official fees to get a patent granted at the European Patent Office come to \u20ac5335 (about 63000\u202fNOK or \u00a34500 in July 2025), the official fees charged in the UK are only \u00a3310 (about 4300\u202fNOK or \u20ac365)!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UK also allows longer applications with more claims than other countries. An equivalent application filed in Norway would cost 19125\u202fNOK (about \u00a31405 or \u20ac1625) in official fees, for example.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting with the UK is therefore a very cost effective way to test the patentability of your invention before deciding whether or not to expand across Europe and the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Flexibility<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although quite formal on paper, the patent examination process at the UK IPO is fairly informal in practice. Examiners in the UK are happy to discuss applications with us by phone and email. This means we can better understand any objections the examiner has and better explain your invention and our arguments. This not only leads to a smoother, cheaper, and more efficient process all round, but can lead to a better scope of protection in the UK than might be obtainable elsewhere.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also usually more opportunities to make changes to your patent application in the UK compared to the European Patent Office, and no time limit for requesting further searches of alternative inventions, giving you more opportunity to try different approaches to reach grant.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Global leverage<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike some countries, the UK does not offer utility models, petty patents, or other similar forms of protection. Instead, every patent application goes through the same rigorous and highly respected search and examination process. The UK\u2019s specialist patent courts and judges are also reliable and respected around the world. This means that other intellectual property offices often take notice of what happens to your patent application in the UK. Getting a positive search report, examination, or grant in the UK can therefore ease the patent process in other countries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under a program called the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH), a granted UK patent can be used to formally accelerate processing in 29 different countries including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, South Korea, Sweden, and the USA.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A unique registration system also allows granted UK patents to be easily re-registered in several territories in Africa, the Caribbean, the South Pacific, and elsewhere. A granted UK patent can be a quick and inexpensive way to extend protection for your invention to these countries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Credibility<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your competitors and investors also understand the high quality of the UK IPO\u2019s patent searches and examinations. Getting your patent granted in the UK is a strong signal that you may get the same protection in other countries. This can be a powerful deterrent to your competitors who might be thinking about infringing on your patent, as well as boosting the value of your invention in the eyes of potential investors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide\"><strong>What about registered designs?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 43%\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>A registered design is the perfect choice to protect a product which is characterised by its look and feel rather than how it works. Once registered, you can use your design to help you protect your product from copycats on marketplaces like Alibaba and eBay.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to patents, registered designs are simpler, quicker, and cheaper to obtain. The official fees for a UK registered design start at just \u00a350 (about 680\u202fNOK or \u20ac60 in July 2025) for a single design, ranging up to \u00a3150 (about 2040\u202fNOK or \u20ac175) for up to 50 designs in the same application. In Norway, the official fees start at 2470\u202fNOK (about \u00a3180 or \u20ac210) for the first design and an additional 1690\u202fNOK (about \u00a3125 or \u20ac145) for each design after that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is also no lengthy examination process \u2013 just a quick formal check that the drawings are self-consistent and suitable for reproduction. Your design is then registered \u2013 usually within three weeks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Stol-tjerand.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2972 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Stol-tjerand.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Stol-tjerand-254x300.jpg 254w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Stol-tjerand-10x12.jpg 10w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide\"><strong>How can H\u00e5ms\u00f8 Patentbyr\u00e5 help you?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:29% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/aug-7-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2167 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/aug-7-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/aug-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/aug-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/aug-7-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/aug-7-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/aug-7.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>For more than 75 years, H\u00e5ms\u00f8 Patentbyr\u00e5 has helped innovators around the world protect and defend their intellectual property.

He chose to create one for H\u00e5ms\u00f8 Patentbyr\u00e5, designing a logo that has stood the test of time and remains in use more than 40 years later.<\/p>\n<p>The logo was drawn by hand with technical precision and carefully constructed using a rOtring pen, long before digital design tools existed. It was a time-consuming and detailed process \u2013 and highly unusual, even groundbreaking, for a patent firm to have a custom-designed logo at that time. The design signalled that the firm had a conscious approach to identity, aesthetics, and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A distinct visual identity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hardly any other patent firms \u2013 in Norway or internationally \u2013 had their own logo at the time, which attracted significant attention. With roots in graphic craftsmanship and a deep respect for form and function, the logo communicates not only aesthetics, but also the core of what H\u00e5ms\u00f8 Patentbyr\u00e5 stands for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>Protecting and managing ideas \u2013 always in motion<\/em><\/strong><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A symbol with purpose<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>According to the designer, the logo is inspired by yin and yang, consisting of three rotating, organic shapes that balance each other in an eternal interplay. It evokes associations with duality and harmony, but also with dynamism and forward movement. The form can be read as an eternal circle \u2013 a symbol of the creative cycle and the boundless flow of new ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Celebrating a legacy of craft and vision<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>In the anniversary year 2025, as H\u00e5ms\u00f8 Patentbyr\u00e5 marks 75 years of providing advice, patents, and trademark protection, it is worth reflecting on this visual identity \u2013 developed with craftsmanship and insight, and carried forward as an integral part of the firm\u2019s identity and cultural heritage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Hamso-logo-gammel-1024x341.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Hamso-logo-gammel-1024x341.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Hamso-logo-gammel-300x100.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Hamso-logo-gammel-768x256.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Hamso-logo-gammel-18x6.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/www.patent.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Hamso-logo-gammel.jpeg 1417w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>The core shape of the logo has remained largely unchanged since its creation, but the colour and typography have evolved over time.

Check these domain- and trademark pitfalls first"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><em>In this article we explore how domain names and trademark law interact, look at four recent rulings from the Norwegian Domain Complaint Board, and give you hands-on advice on why\u2014and how\u2014you should secure both a domain name and a trademark before you invest time and money in branding and marketing. We also show how H\u00e5ms\u00f8 Patentbyr\u00e5 can help you build an efficient protection strategy from day one.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When a domain name meets trademark law<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>A domain name is more than just an internet address\u2014it is the gateway to your brand. For many businesses the domain is tightly linked to the company name, customer trust, and online visibility. You might think it is obvious that you can use the sign you have built up, but that is not always the case.<\/p>\n<p>Norwegian name-law follows a firm \u201cfirst in time, strongest right\u201d principle. The best way to document and lock in that priority is to register your domain name, trademark, and company name as early as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Owning a domain does not automatically give you exclusive rights to the name. A domain is mainly a technical address, not a legal shield. If someone else has registered the same name as a trademark\u2014or can show a stronger right\u2014you may in some cases have to hand the domain over.<\/p>\n<p>In a conflict, the Domain Complaint Board weighs up formal rights, history of use, actual use, and whether the holder is keeping or using the domain in bad faith. A registered trademark often tips the balance\u2014but not always, as the cases below show.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Four fresh decisions that highlight the nuances<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Vaskeladden.no (DOK-2025-1)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p>Egroup Norway AS registered the domain in 2023. One year later Vaskeladden AS registered the name as a trademark for cleaning services, while the domain still lay unused. The Board held that the domain was kept in bad faith because it blocked the complainant\u2019s right and ordered a transfer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lesson learned:<\/strong> Even an older domain can be transferred if the holder cannot show legitimate use after a trademark right has arisen.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Temu.no (DOK-2025-10)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p>A Norwegian third party registered temu.no and pointed it straight to Temu\u2019s official store. Temu held international trademarks valid in Norway and had been in heavy commercial use long before the domain was registered. The Board found clear rights plus bad faith and awarded the domain to Temu.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lesson learned:<\/strong> Tidlig og tydelig varemerkeregistrering gir et sterkt vern dersom noen fors\u00f8ker \u00e5 utnytte eller kapre et domene som samsvarer med din registrerte rettighet.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sparebankennorge.no (DOK-2025-3)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p>Sparebanken Vest applied to register \u201cSparebanken Norge\u201d as a trademark in 2024, but SpareBank 1 SMN had already registered the domain in 2021. The name was deemed generic and the domain had been registered in good faith. The transfer request was rejected.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lesson learned:<\/strong> A trademark does not automatically beat an older domain registered in good faith\u2014especially when the name lacks distinctiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Amiganorge.no (DOK-2025-9)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p>The complainant owned the trademark AMIGA, but the respondent could show over twenty years of continuous use of the sign. The Board ruled that the complainant had no better right and refused the transfer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lesson learned:<\/strong> Your trademark must be both earlier and factually stronger than the other party\u2019s use\u2014registering too late means a trademark alone won\u2019t save you.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to safeguard your name before launch<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you settle on a name, start by searching the Norwegian Patent Office\u2019s database to see whether identical or confusingly similar trademarks are already registered. Next, consult the Company Register for businesses with the same or similar names, and finally check Norid\u2019s register to confirm that the .no domain is available. Keep in mind that rights can arise through registration\u2014such as a trademark, company name, or domain\u2014and also through actual use in the marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If no conflicting rights emerge from these checks, file your trademark application and reserve the domain straight away; securing your rights early is almost always far cheaper and easier than trying to win them back later. Choose a sign with real distinctiveness, since a distinctive name can be registered as a trademark and makes it harder for competitors to claim confusingly similar domains or company names, as the Sparebankennorge.no case illustrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How H\u00e5ms\u00f8 Patentbyr\u00e5 can help<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With more than 75 years\u2019 experience in trademarks, design, and patents, H\u00e5ms\u00f8 Patentbyr\u00e5 offers full-service protection for names, products, and technology.
