Statistics Norway reported that in 2025 Norwegian enterprises filed 1,729 patent applications, 1,394 design registrations, and 15,526 trademark registrations. Patent filings rose 32.5 % from 2024 and 9.4 % from 2021, while design filings increased 8.0 % from 2024 and 7.9 % from 2021. Trademark filings grew 5.4 % from 2024 but fell 14.4 % over the five‑year period. Of all applications, 65.1 % of patents, 14.1 % of designs, and 25.4 % of trademarks were filed by Norwegian applicants. The data also explain the legal categories: a patent protects a concrete solution to a technical problem, a trademark is a distinctive characteristic that can be represented graphically, and a design covers the appearance and shape of a product or its part, including physical items and web layouts.
