Norway: registering a trademark costs an estimated US$1,721 for one class, plus US$331 for each further class. Norway is a member of the Madrid System, so a trademark can be filed with its office directly or extended to Norway through an international registration. Norway is a leading import market for tobacco and smokers' articles (class 34) and ropes and tents (class 22). It is also one of the world's leading exporters of natural gas and LPG and fresh fish.
Figures by trademark class count branded goods only: raw commodities that are traded mostly without brands - such as gold bars, fuel, bulk chemicals, grain and fabric by the metre - are left out. Hong Kong, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates are left out of the rankings, as much of their trade is re-exported.
Goods where Norway is among the world's 3 largest exporters, has at least 15% of world exports, or that make up at least 25% of its own exports - of at least US$500m a year.
Our estimate is about US$1,721 for one class, from filing to registration: about US$399 in official fees and about US$1,322 in professional (law firm) fees. Each further class adds about US$331. Responses to office actions and oppositions are not included. These are estimates only: the actual cost depends on the law firm and the application.
