Responding to Official Action(s)

We generally await your comments and instructions before preparing a response to an Official Action. If we do not hear from you, we will routinely send you a reminder one month before the deadline. Upon receiving your instructions, we will prepare and duly file the response with the Norwegian Patent Office. If necessary, we will contact you before finalizing the response.

An extension of a reply term can be obtained once during the prosecution of the application. Obtaining this two-month extension is a mere formality. No argument must be filed with the petition, no official fee needs to be paid, and you will receive no public confirmation of the new deadline.
