How does validation work In Norway?

As Norway is the member of the European Patent Agreement, the European Patent can enjoy protection in Norway after the process of validation.

necessary documents: translation + Power of attorney

As Norway has a different official language than the EPO, it is always obligatory to translate the claims to Norwegian. If the B1 document is in English, only the Norwegian translation of the claims has to be submitted. On the other hand, if the patent was granted with either a French or German description, an English or a Norwegian translation of the description can be filed as well, along with the required Norwegian claims.

For filing the validation a signed Power of Attorney will be requested from the applicant. One of our colleagues will send you the form in email after ordering the validation in Norway.
