​What are the requirements for trademark registration in Germany (Part 1)

German trademark registration is filed with the Patent Office in Germany. In addition to the designated application form that must be filled out, the following information is also required:
-The identity of the applicant
-An indication of the German trademark to be registered
-Contains a list of goods or services that the trademark will represent
-The registration fee that must be paid at the time of registration
Our company's German lawyers can use the authorization letter to carry out the trademark registration process.

German trademark registration procedure

After submitting all documents, the German Patent Office will review the trademark application, if the application complies with all legal requirements, whether fees have been paid, and whether the applicant has the right to register the trademark. If all requirements are met, the Patent Office will allow the trademark to be registered and then publish it in the Official Gazette. The trademark will continue to be published for three months, and time is under consideration that anyone’s registration may harm them by filing an opposition to the German trademark registration.
If no one objects to trademark registration, the Patent Office will register the trademark. The German trademark law grants a 10-year protection period. Upon expiration, the protection period can be extended for another 10 years.
