Patentstyret Open Data MCP Server
Access trademark, patent and design information from your AI assistant.
The Patentstyret Open Data MCP server enables compatible AI applications to search public records, retrieve case details and explore companies’ intellectual property portfolios.
All tools perform read-only lookups. They do not submit applications or modify records.
Data is retrieved from the Norwegian industrial property register maintained by the Norwegian Industrial Property Office (NIPO, Patentstyret).
Connect to the server
There are two alternatives to configure your MCP client:
a) Authenticate using HTTP Header (recommended)
b) Authenticate using URL with key
Some AI Assistants do not allow authenticating using HTTP headers.
Once connected, your client can discover the available tools and their input parameters.
Available tools
Getting started
Describe what you want to find in your AI assistant. For example:
“Search for Norwegian trademarks containing for example FJORDLYS and show the status of relevant results.”
“Find patent applications where Example AS is the applicant.”
“Find registered designs associated with Example AS.”
“Show the intellectual property portfolio for the company with Norwegian organisation number [9-digit number] or by company name.”
A typical workflow is to search for cases for example via get_ipr_cases_by_company, identify relevant results and retrieve their full records using the corresponding lookup tool.

Interpreting trademark results
