Germany DPMA Germany Trademark Monitoring

Monitor German national trademark activity from the German Patent and Trade Mark Office (DPMA) in the same BrandCat workflow as EUIPO and other offices.

The German Patent and Trade Mark Office (DPMA) maintains a substantial national trademark register alongside the EUIPO and WIPO systems. In 2025, the DPMA received 93,291 national trademark applications, an increase of 20.8% from the previous year, while 909,659 German national trademarks were in force at the end of the year. By comparison, another 3,037 requests for protection in Germany arrived through WIPO international registrations. Source: DPMA

German National Marks in Your Normal Review Queue

DPMA results appear in BrandCat with the familiar fields needed for first-pass review: trademark name, owner or applicant, Nice classes, filing or registration references, status, and the source office. You can filter German records with the same controls used across the rest of the trademark-monitoring workspace.

German-language goods and services details can be translated where available, while the original record remains available for context. This keeps the initial review readable without hiding the underlying source data.

Open Full DPMA Trademark Details

Once a German result looks relevant, BrandCat opens the full DPMA record in the same normalized detail view used across the rest of the platform. This makes it easier to review the filing without switching back and forth between separate registry pages.

Depending on the record, this can include the serial number, registration number, status, application, registration, and expiry dates, owner, correspondent, Nice classes, and the full Goods & Services description.

German-language fields remain visible alongside translated text where available. In the example below, the owner and correspondent information, Nice class, and Goods & Services wording can be reviewed in English while the original German registry text is preserved underneath.

Germany and EUIPO Answer Different Questions

An EUIPO result may cover the European Union, but it does not replace a view of German national activity. Monitoring both is useful because a national filing, an older right, or a Germany-specific strategy can still matter to a brand owner.

BrandCat makes that comparison practical: DPMA, EUIPO, WIPO Madrid, and other supported offices share the same watch, filter, risk, and review workflow.

Why DPMA Monitoring Matters

German trademark monitoring helps you spot potentially relevant activity before it becomes a surprise. It is especially useful for brands with customers, partners, resellers, production, or expansion plans in Germany.
