Restrictions on the cease and desist declaration, which merely correspond to a limitation of the obligee's right to cease and desist under substantive law, are however unobjectionable. The elimination of the risk of repetition does not prevent the debtor from refusing to extend his declaration of cease and desist to conduct that he cannot be forbidden

Your intellectual property deserves special protection!
There are many ways to protect your business. One of the most popular and fastest is registering a trademark with the DPMA. When registering, however, there is a lot to consider. Thus, effective brand protection can only be achieved if the right classes are registered. When choosing the so-called Nice classes, extreme care must be exercised, as they decisively decide on the future trademark protection of the registered trademark.
Ask & Answers on the topic of brands
Which brands are there?
A primary distinction is made between a word mark, a picture mark and a word / picture mark. At the German Patent and Trademark Office (DPMA) you can in principle register all these different types. You must determine in advance which protection you want to attribute to the respective brand type later.
Is the registration of a trademark complicated?
Yes and no. Basically, you do not need a lawyer for trademark applications - so the trademark application is not expensive. However, you should have a good knowledge of the registration of a brand and ideally have done so often. Otherwise, it can easily happen that you overlook competing brands in the course of the search and thus trigger one of the many obstacles to protection. You also need to check exactly which classes you log in to ensure optimal brand protection.
We register brands for you.
If you do not want to register the trademark yourself, you can also order our lawyers to register. We carry out the necessary research at the DPMA and together with you select the most important classes of Nice. Your brand will thus enjoy optimum protection in the future.

We charge per trademark application a fee of 490,00 EUR plus VAT. In addition, there is a fee for the DPMA in the amount of 290,00 EUR per brand.
