What Clients Say About the Trade Mark Application With Breuer Lehmann

Legal advice, a service via the Internet – perfect!
My reservations about only commissioning a legal advice service via the Internet were unfounded. My expectations were far exceeded. The service was provided promptly, completely, inexpensively and to my complete satisfaction. Many thanks to the legal team.

Very quick processing and professional advice
We received very competent advice from Mr Brandl at Breuer Lehmann Rechtsanwälte! :-) Above all, a very quick and professional handling of our plans to register a trade mark, including concrete recommendations for action, which then very quickly resulted in a concrete order. We are very satisfied and are happy to recommend Breuer Lehmann Rechtsanwälte.

Successful self-employment
When I decided to protect my name as a trade mark as a solo self-employed person, I made the best choice with the law firm Breuer-Lehmann-Rechtsanwälte. I received excellent advice right from the start and was able to sit back and relax. I had imagined it would be more difficult and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it can be. A big compliment.

Excellent and competent service can be measured:

Frequently Asked Questions About Trade Mark Applications

If you instruct us to register a trade mark for a third party, we require a power of attorney from the future trade mark owner. The trade mark application is not only associated with rights for the trade mark owner but also with obligations. In this respect, it is important to ensure that the future trademark owner authorises the trademark application before registering a trademark. We can provide you with a power of attorney if required.

The protection of your trade mark in the DACH region can easily be carried out by the law firm BREUER LEHMANN. Our top seller protects your trade mark optimally in German-speaking countries and secures your exclusive trade mark rights in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

  • Prerequisite: To be able to register a trade mark in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, you only need a private or business residence in Germany.
  • Details: Further details on protecting your trade mark in the DACH region can be found on our information page.
  • Procedure: After you have completed our form for trade mark registration in DE, AT, CH, the law firm BREUER LEHMANN will contact you immediately.

We need around 3-5 working days to check your order. As part of a 24-hour express order, we can also complete this within 24 hours (only on working days). We will then get back to you with an examination report and make suggestions as to how your trade mark can be registered. Only if you then give us the green light will we file the trade mark application for you.

The examination and registration of a German trade mark costs from EUR 290 official fees plus our legal fee from EUR 189 net. The examination and application of a European Union trade mark costs from EUR 850 official fees plus our legal fee from EUR 349 net. However, we recommend that you carry out searches for existing identical and similar trade marks in advance, as trade mark disputes can quickly become very expensive. You can minimise such risks with professional trademark searches. We offer such searches as part of our PRO packages.

Trade mark application Germany

Trade mark application EU

For international trade mark applications, please send us a list of the countries in which you would like to register a trade mark.

You can always extend the protection of a trade mark to other countries later, including the EU (EU trade mark).

However, you should bear in mind that someone can always “get in the way” in other countries. In other words, if you first register the trade mark in Germany and then 3 years later for the EU, you must expect that in the intervening period someone else will have registered a trade mark identical or similar to your trade mark in the country you then want to protect, which could lead to a trade mark conflict.

You can rule this out if you apply for protection in the other countries in the period of up to 6 months after filing the German trade mark (priority period). This is because the priority (seniority) of the German trade mark is also granted to you in the other countries for this period. If, for example, you apply for the EU trade mark 4 months after the German trade mark and claim this priority, you can take action against third parties who have applied for an identical or similar EU trade mark 3 months after your German trade mark but 1 month before your EU trade mark: because you can invoke the better priority in Germany against them, which then also applies to your EU trade mark.

In this respect, you can initially only apply for the German trade mark, but you should keep the issue of priority in mind if you intend to extend the protection of the trade mark to other countries in the foreseeable future.

The following can be protected as trade marks:

  • Product names
    Product names can of course be protected as trade marks. As these do not obtain trade mark protection through mere use, you should also register a trade mark.
  • Company names
    You can have a company name protected as a trade mark. You can have the company name protected as a word mark, as a figurative mark (logo) or as a so-called word/figurative mark.
  • Logos / Graphics
    Logos can be protected as a figurative mark or in combination with a text as a word/figurative mark. if you want to register a logo or a graphic as a trade mark, you should have the corresponding rights of use for the logo or graphic. The Office does not check this. However, if you register a logo or graphic with the German Patent and Trade Mark Office without the author’s consent, in the worst case scenario the author may take legal action against the trade mark application. This problem is mostly of a theoretical nature, but you should make sure that the author of the logo grants you an exclusive licence in writing to register the logo as a trade mark. in the case of purchased logos or images from corresponding internet platforms (stock photos), the rights do not usually extend so far that the logo or graphic may also be registered as a trade mark. If in doubt, check this beforehand.
  • Word/figurative mark
    In principle, word marks can also consist of several words, so you can also protect a slogan such as “Vorsprung durch Technik” (Audi slogan protected under trade mark law).

Are you unsure what the object you want to protect belongs to? Then please contact us free of charge and without obligation. We will be happy to help you.

In principle, all trade marks must be distinctive.

For example, the word mark for the sportswear sector may not be “trainers” but must read “Adidas”. It must be taken into account that the trade mark proprietor can prohibit a third party from using the trade mark or a similar sign in the corresponding goods or service sector.

Descriptive technical terms or common abbreviations in a particular field cannot be protected, nor can the English, French or Italian translation of the word. Furthermore, trade marks may not be immoral, for example (Fack ju Göthe).

The owners of registered and applied-for trade marks can be natural persons (you personally), legal entities (GmbH, AG etc.) and partnerships (GbR etc.), Section 7 MarkenG. Several natural or legal persons can also be the owner of a trade mark.

Several persons / companies as owners of a trade mark

A trade mark can be registered to several persons (= natural or legal persons) together. Please note, however, that conflicts between the various trade mark owners can then also affect the use and enforcement of the trade mark. You should therefore agree a regulation in the event that you disagree so that the trade mark does not “perish in the dispute”.

The registration of a new trade mark can always lead to the infringement of an earlier trade mark.

As a result, the owner of the earlier trade mark may incur costs through out-of-court or court proceedings, the new trade mark may be cancelled and no longer used and compensation payments may be made up to the amount of profits lost. In addition, a new brand name and a new corporate design must now be found for your own company. This can be avoided at low cost by conducting a trade mark search before registering a trade mark.

Our fixed-price “PRO” packages include such trade mark searches for identical or similar trade marks. If the search turns up older trade marks, we will help you to find out how you can still successfully register an amended trade mark.
