Nordic national trademark registrations can be renewed in further ten-year periods, but there is no single Nordic renewal filing. Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden maintain separate registers, official fees, filing windows and confirmation records. A portfolio may also include an EUTM with its own EUIPO renewal date.
NordicIP turns those separate rights into one controlled instruction. We verify each register, confirm the owner and classes, calculate the regular or late cost, file with the appropriate office and provide the completed renewal evidence.
Four national systems compared
| Country | Current basic official fee | Additional-class position | Late position |
|---|---|---|---|
| Denmark | DKK 2,400 | DKK 240 for the second class; DKK 720 for each further class | 20% increase after expiry |
| Finland | EUR 250 | EUR 100 for each additional class | EUR 320 late basic fee |
| Norway | NOK 3,400 | NOK 1,300 for each additional class | NOK 550 late-payment fee |
| Sweden | SEK 2,700 | SEK 1,000 for each additional class | SEK 200 per class after expiry |
These are the official online figures reviewed on 17 July 2026. NordicIP confirms the live tariff, registered class count and service fee before every instruction. The detailed country guides contain the current office sources and worked examples.
Start with register verification
A renewal notice or old certificate is useful, but the current national register should control the instruction. We check the registration number, proprietor, address, classes, status and next due date. Where the portfolio contains a Madrid international registration, we also identify whether the renewal belongs at WIPO rather than as a standalone national registration.
Register verification catches common problems before money is sent: a changed company name, an unrecorded assignment, a class count that differs from the docket or a registration that has already been limited. NordicIP reports those points with the renewal quote.
Denmark renewal planning
The current Danish basic renewal fee is DKK 2,400. The second class and later classes carry different additional amounts, so the calculation should use the actual registered class structure. A renewal made after expiry carries the published 20% increase within the available late period.
A Danish national registration also extends to Greenland and the Faroe Islands. That territorial value should be considered when the owner decides whether the right remains commercially important. Read the Denmark renewal guide for the class examples and managed DKPTO workflow.
Finland renewal planning
Finland provides a particularly useful advance window: PRH states that a registration can be renewed from one year before expiry and up to six months after expiry. The current regular basic fee is EUR 250, with EUR 100 per additional class. The higher late basic fee applies after the normal expiry date.
Older Finnish specifications may also require attention where broad class wording must be clarified under the applicable transitional rules. NordicIP checks the record and reports any specification point separately. See the Finland renewal guide.
Norway renewal planning
Patentstyret permits renewal from six months before the due date and a further six-month late period. The current official fee begins at NOK 3,400 for one class, with NOK 1,300 for each additional class and the separate NOK 550 late fee after expiry.
Norwegian protection is independent of an EUTM. A complete Nordic review should therefore keep the Norwegian national right beside the relevant EU and national registrations. The Norway renewal guide explains the one-class tariff and register checks.
Sweden renewal planning
The current PRV electronic renewal fee begins at SEK 2,700, with SEK 1,000 per additional class. After expiry, PRV’s published late charge is SEK 200 per class. This makes the registered class count material to both the regular and late calculation.
NordicIP verifies the Swedish owner and scope, files electronically and retains the completion record. See the Sweden renewal guide for worked examples.
Review the owner and scope before filing
Renewal maintains the registered goods and services; it does not create a route for adding new scope. An owner may decide to renew fewer classes or narrower existing coverage, but removed scope cannot simply be restored later through the same registration. NordicIP asks for class approval before submission where the portfolio contains unused or non-core coverage.
We also compare the registered owner with the instructing entity. A merger, assignment, change of name or address may require a separate recordal. Coordinating that work with renewal gives the client a cleaner register, while the renewal deadline remains independently protected.
Include EUTMs and Madrid registrations in the portfolio view
An EUTM has one EUIPO renewal date and covers Denmark, Finland and Sweden. A Madrid international registration is renewed centrally through WIPO for the designations recorded under it. Neither should be mistaken for four standalone national renewals merely because the protection has Nordic territorial effect.
NordicIP identifies the legal route for every right and places the instruction with the correct office. The portfolio report can show national, EUIPO and WIPO records together without merging their procedures.
Plan the instruction as a portfolio project
A useful renewal schedule begins well before the earliest office window closes. NordicIP groups the rights by regular deadline, route, owner and class count, then gives the client one approval table showing the official amount, agreed service scope and internal instruction date for each case. This allows finance, brand and legal teams to approve the same verified record.
For a large transfer, we reconcile the incoming schedule in stages. Urgent and late-period cases are isolated first, the remaining national, EUIPO and WIPO records are matched to the registers, and ownership discrepancies are listed for decision. Each completed filing is returned with evidence and the next renewal date, giving the new docket a documented starting point.
Build the renewal decision around commercial scope
The registered classes should be compared with current products, licences and planned markets before the owner authorises the next ten-year term. A right can remain strategically valuable even where present sales are limited, particularly when it supports a distributor agreement, product relaunch or enforcement position. NordicIP presents the register and cost clearly so the owner can make that decision with the relevant business team.
Where a reduced renewal is chosen, we record the approved classes and confirm the resulting scope in the completion report. Where the full registration is maintained, the report provides a clean baseline for future watching, recordal and use reviews across the Nordic portfolio.
Send a renewal portfolio to NordicIP
- registration number and country or EU/WIPO route;
- current owner and address;
- registered classes and any proposed reduction;
- next deadline and last renewal evidence;
- pending assignment, merger or name change; and
- the authorised contact for fees and filing approval.
Use the NordicIP renewal enquiry to send the list. We will return a verified schedule, flag discrepancies and confirm the fixed scope for managing the renewals through completion.
