Trademark Registration
With the trademark registration at the German Patent and Trademark Office (DPMA), we support you in trademark protection for your company. Only by registering a trademark will you be granted the right to the sole use of your trademark and thus the opportunity to take action against copycats.
Registering the brand pays off, especially for companies that are active as Amazon sellers. With the registered trademark it’s possible to be included in the amazon brand registry. This unlocks a number of tools that will help you build and protect your brand and give your customers a better experience.

What is a brand?
The German Trademark Act (§3 MarkenG) describes what a trademark is as follows: A trademark comprises all signs that can be used to distinguish the goods or services of one company from those of other companies. Anyone building a company as a brand must develop a company name, design a logo and formulate a claim or slogan.
There are three main categories that come into question in most cases:
- Word marks: These are marks that consist of one or more words. This also includes the sequence of letters and numbers.
- Design marks: These are graphic representations and logos.
- Word / design marks: Here the mark has both a design and a word component.
Why should I register my trademark?
As an entrepreneur with business activities in Germany and Europe, you only have the exclusive right to use it by registering a trademark. Without an application and registration with the DMPA (or for Europe-wide / international use with the EUIPO) third parties can use your trademark. Third parties can still pre-empt you when registering, which would result in you losing the right to use your own brand.
If, after successful registration, you discover that your trademark is being used by third parties, you have the following legal options:
Written Warning
File an Injuction Suit
Request Compansation
Information on Competitor
What are the advantages of Amazon Brand Registry?
