works ## Three steps to a Germany registration. 1 ### Run a free attorney check Tell us your brand. A German-experienced attorney searches the DPMA register and tells you, plainly, whether you are clear to file. 2 ### We file with the DPMA We draft your goods and services, classify them under Nice, and file your application directly with the DPMA as your representative of record. 3 ### Watched through to registration We monitor examination and the opposition window and answer objections, then your mark registers across Germany. What it costs ## One flat fee, every cost shown up front. A transparent attorney fee, the DPMA's government fee passed through at cost, and a clear total before you pay. Your Germany filing $335 + EUR 304.50 1 attorney fee + DPMA fee for 1 class · changes as you add classes $335 attorney · EUR 290 DPMA at cost · EUR 14.50 bank fee (5% of the DPMA fee) [Get My Free Search](/forms/catalog?subcategory=trademark-search&country=DE&ref=b2c) Legal team GTC's Germany team DPMA-registered agent Agent of record at DPMA ### Every Germany filing includes - A DPMA and German common-law clearance search, with an attorney's read on your odds - Goods and services drafted and classified under Nice, in German - Your application filed directly with the DPMA by a German-qualified attorney - The €290 office fee covers up to three Nice classes, strong value for multi-class brands - The three-month opposition window watched Not included: substantive Office Action responses · oppositions · other countries · renewals. Each quoted when needed. ### How many classes? A class is a category of goods or services. One product line is one class. Clothing plus an online store is two. Each class adds one attorney fee and one DPMA fee.

Most Germany trademarks move on the DPMA's standard timeline. Here is what to expect. 1. Days 1–3 ### Clearance search We run a DPMA prior-rights search, and an attorney reads your odds before you commit a fee. 2. Week 1 ### Filed at the DPMA We draft, classify under Nice, and file your application as your representative of record. 3.
