Description
This dataset contains information about registrations and applications filed in Norway. The dataset provides detailed information about the patented inventions, trademarks and designs. This including key player names, key ID-numbers, application dates, status, and relevant events.
Filed patent applications can be kept secret for up to 18 months. The equivalent of 6 months for design. The data set contains only publicly available rights. The data set is dynamic and is continually through the day updated with new rights and by e.g. change in status and other events.
Where patent, trademark and design rights in Norway are linked to Norwegian businesses, many can be uniquely identified by the national organization number.
