The English or Norwegian translation (in case of non-EN application) can be submitted within two months from the filing date. * An amendment to reduce the claims may be submitted. Any amendments made will incur additional translation costs. • Small entity status: companies with less than 20 employees do not have to pay the examination fee, and pay a lower basic fee.
