Frequently asked questions

Is it required to use a trademark before filing?

No, it is not necessary to use a trademark in Germany as well as in EU before application. In other words it is possible to register a trademark in Germany or EU without business operation. But you need to use them after registration, otherwise it can be canceled according to German and EU laws but not earlier than 5 years after registration.

Word and figurative trademarks: what is better?

For general purposes, like brand name or listings on amazon and ebay we advise to register word trademark. In this case the opposite risk will be much lower during the registration process.
Figurative trademarks according to German law protect a combination of text and picture. If your brand name will be used in amazon listings or product description, a figurative trademark can not protect the text form with your picture or logo. For this situation it is better to register the word and figurative trademark.

German vs EU trademarks: what is better?

In general, if your products or services are sold mostly in Germany, a German trade mark is preferable. If you like to sell across European countries, it will be cheaper to register EU trademarks than to apply in each European country separately.

For beginning we advise to start with German trademarks, in such case competitors’ opposite risk is much lower.

For EU trademarks it is needed to check compliance with all trademarks, registered in each EU country.

Who can apply for German and EU trademarks?

For trademarks registration in Germany and EU can apply all private and business persons.

When can the German trademark be canceled?

Trademarks will be canceled if they are unused after 5 years.

Is it required to get a trademark certificate for access to amazon brand registry tools?

For using amazon brand registry tools you need just to apply for trademark registration. It is not required to wait untill registration is completed.
