Welcome to the digital gazette

The previous PDF-formatted editions of the Gazette exist up to and including week No. 9, 2024, and are the only valid source of announcements up to this date.

The previous editions of The Norwegian Gazette will still be available in PDF format. 

About the content of the digital gazette

Only data to be announced from and including 4 March 2024 will be available in the digital edition of the gazette.

You can search, view and download data, images and documents from the digital interface.

The data in the various digital journals are organized in the same way regardless of subject area and are accessible from the same starting point. The data in the digital announcements is locked and immutable. The data represents the original and authentic version of the announcements. You can always go back and look at the historical data.

NB! Although we have taken steps to provide accurate and complete information, errors and omissions may occur. On the day of publication or shortly after, the applicant should review the information in the Norwegian Gazette to check that the information is correct.

When is the gazette published?

From Monday 4 March 2024, the trademark, design and patent newspaper will be published weekly, at 00:01 every Monday.

Each edition of the various newspapers is identified with an issue number. This number consists of the week number and the year, for example 10/2024, for Monday 4 March 2024.

These figures will constitute a continuous and complete annual set of trademark, design and patent journals respectively.
