Report changes to an application or entitlement

If you choose to use a proxy, you can use the form for changing the proxy. You can use this both as a power of attorney document and to register a power of attorney change.

A lawyer does not need to submit a power of attorney document, but if you have given the power of attorney to a law firm, you must submit a power of attorney.

You can submit a notice of power of attorney change without attaching a valid power of attorney document. If the power of attorney document is missing at the time of registration, however, we delete the power of attorney and send further correspondence on the matter directly to the holder.

You must submit a valid power of attorney at the same time you submit a notification of power of attorney change.

Everyone who is stated as an applicant or holder of an application or right must sign the power of attorney.

We accept a copy of the power of attorney as long as the information in the copy is clearly stated.

You must state which application or right the power of attorney applies to. Alternatively, the power of attorney must be a general power of attorney that applies to all the applicant's or holder's matters within one or more subject areas.

If you refer to a previously submitted general power of attorney, you must always attach a copy of this.

If an authorized representative wishes to transfer the power of attorney to another authorized representative, and it appears from the authorization that the authorized representative has the right to do this, the former authorized representative can sign the authorization.

We register changes to an application or right if we receive notification of this from the applicant, the holder, or from an appointed representative.

Other than the aforementioned parties can also register changes to our register by sending a message with a limited power of attorney. In such cases, we require you to attach at least one of the following documents to the message:

• a limited power of attorney
• form signed by the applicant or the holder, for example a form on change of name/address or transfer
• documentation of the change. For example, it could be a printout from trade registers, enterprise registers or the Brønnøysund registers
• a copy of the assignment from the applicant or holder

If the change is a change of name or address, the representative who is already in our register will remain as representative even after the change of name or address has been carried out.

If, on the other hand, the change concerns a transfer or merger, you must provide us with information about who should be listed as authorized representative for the new applicant or holder - or whether the application or registration is to be continued without an authorized representative. If the new applicant or holder has appointed a proxy, you must attach a power of attorney confirming the proxy relationship.

This means that in the case of notification of a transfer or merger where the notification comes from someone other than an appointed proxy, you must attach a power of attorney that will apply after the change has been carried out. This is in addition to either a limited power of attorney, documentation of the change, a form signed by the applicant or holder, or a copy of the assignment.

• Application stage: The form must be signed by the person listed as an applicant in our register, or by the applicant's representative.
• After registration: The form must be signed either by the previous holder or by the new holder (that right has been transferred from or to), or one of the parties' authorized representative.

In the event of notification of a transfer or merger, the proxy relationship is not transferred automatically

If a proxy has been appointed in the case, the proxy relationship will cease when the application or the right is transferred to a new applicant or holder.

If the new applicant or holder wishes to be represented by an attorney, you must therefore inform us of this. See the section on change of proxy.

• Application stage: The form must be signed by the applicant or the applicant's representative.
• After registration: The form must be signed by the holder or the holder's representative.

To change a mark in a trademark or collective mark registration: You must send two clear images of the new mark.

The applicant, the holder, the licensor, the licensee, or the agent representing one of these, may sign and submit a notice of license. You must attach a power of attorney that confirms the power of attorney relationship if this has not been submitted previously. Use the Swedish Patent Office's form.

If the license agreement does not apply to the entire application or right, you must let us know in Norwegian which parts the agreement covers.

Use the form for notification of licence, and send this in Altinn
