Clear your brand before launch and choose German, EU or international protection around your markets.
Choose the right filing route
A German trade mark is filed with the DPMA; an EU trade mark with the EUIPO. National applications and the WIPO Madrid System can cover further markets. An international registration is not a worldwide trade mark: designated jurisdictions assess protection under their applicable rules.
Searches and specifications
Search identical and similar signs before filing. An available domain or company name does not establish trade mark availability. The DPMA does not examine conflicting earlier marks of its own motion. The goods and services specification must match the business; it cannot simply be broadened after filing.
From application to portfolio
We assess the sign, prepare the specification and coordinate examination, objections and opposition issues. After registration, use, renewals and monitoring require attention. For an initial review, provide the proposed sign, goods and services, target countries and any intended launch date.
