  Covers the heart of our business: digital and automated cross-border company registration.

Why the trademark is strategically important

For a GovTech company building digital infrastructure in a regulated market, the trademark is more than a logo. It is:

• Legal protection in Norway for the name "Intermediary" and the associated figurative mark within our core classes until 2033
• A signal to the market that our quality is built on a distinct and protected identity — not a generic consultancy profile
• A foundation for international expansion via the Madrid Protocol (WIPO) when the time comes to extend protection to EUIPO and other jurisdictions
• An important due diligence element for investors considering capital injection — together with the Norwegian Patent Office's patentability review of our underlying method

How this connects to the patentability review

It is important to distinguish between two different recognitions from the Norwegian Patent Office:

1. The trademark registration — registered 16 October 2023 (reg. no. 328829). This protects the name and figurative mark.
2. The patentability review — in which the Norwegian Patent Office has recognised that our concept and method represent a new and independent innovation in digital company formation and cross-border onboarding. This relates to the invention itself.

Together they form a comprehensive intellectual property foundation that gives us both identity protection and innovation protection.

Professional representation

The case has been handled throughout by Advokatfirmaet Simonsen Vogt Wiig AS — one of Norway's leading commercial law firms with strong expertise in intellectual property and the technology sector. This reflects our strategy of building every legal foundation correctly from the start.

Practical details
