Trademark Registration in Germany
If you need a trademark for Amazon Brand Registry and need it FAST, filing in Germany (or the UK) is the right decision. We call Germany “Brand Registry Champion”, as it’s by far the fastest country to achieve registration. Trademark Angel partnered up with great German lawyers to make the whole process extremely fast and efficient. We are capable of doing all types of trademark work in Germany. Trademark registration process is quite similar to the UK registration process with some important differences.
Important highlights about the German registration process:
- There are two types of applications available: 1. Regular application 2. Accelerated examination application
- In both types of applications, your application is assigned a serial number and examined after filing.
- Your trademark is reviewed on absolute grounds and it can be refused if it is not distinctive or if the mark is merely descriptive.
- No specimens of use are required. No use before registration is required.
- Government fee covers up to 3 classes.
- For a straightforward trademark application with regular examination, you are looking at 2-3 months until your trademark registers.
- For a straightforward trademark application with accelerated examination, you are looking at 1-2 months until your trademark registers. On average it takes 20-30 days to complete registration.
- One important difference is that German trademarks are registered first and then published for opposition purposes, so a registration number becomes available much quicker than in other countries.
- Once a registration number is obtained, an application for Amazon Brand Registry on amazon.com can be made.
