How does patent renewal work In Norway?

Renewal fees are payable to the Norwegian Industrial Property Office in respect of national patent applications.

Whereas for a pending European patent application an applicant must pay a single maintenance fee at the EPO, after grant, during the term of the European patent, maintenance fees are payable to the national patent office, where the patent has been validated and is sought to be kept in force.

What is the deadline for renew a patent in Norway?

The annual fees are due each year on the last day of the application month.

For example if the application for the patent was submitted on October 9, 2012 and granted on May 8, 2019. The due date for the payment of the annual fee is October 31.

For European patents, if the month in which the date of original filing with the EPO occurred falls between the month in which the patent was granted by the EPO and the month in which the deadline for translation of documents expires, annual renewal fees are due at the same time as the translated documents at the earliest.

The annual fees may also be paid up to a maximum of six months after the due date. Payments made after the due date must include the annual fee plus a NOK 700 surcharge.
