Is it necessary to process the transfer of a German trademark?

Ensure ownership changes are valid under German law. Our experts help you complete the transfer efficiently and securely.

Does Germany require a trademark assignment agreement for transfer?

How long does a trademark assignment take in Germany?
A trademark assignment in Germany typically takes 3–5 months, depending on the examination speed of the DPMA.
Do the owner’s name and address need to be updated after a transfer?

Can a German trademark be assigned for only part of the goods/services?
Yes. Germany allows partial assignments, provided the goods/services being transferred are clearly specified.
