German trademarks
At the German Patent and Trademark Office (DPMA), Attorney Dr. Christian Seyfert has filed a total of 275 German trademarks in 2021. In a German comparison, this puts ZELLER & SEYFERT in 6th place for the number of German trademark applications.
In addition to trademark applications, we also handle trademark transfers and trademark renewals for our clients. We also take care of the adaptation of the trademark after expiration of the grace period (5 years) in order to support you in the best possible way.
For the trademark owners of both German and EU trademarks, whose registrations we have taken over, we also represent you in trademark disputes, in particular opposition proceedings before the trademark offices, nullity proceedings and trademark infringement proceedings before the civil courts. For this purpose, we are active before the civil courts such as the district courts and the higher regional courts, as well as before the Federal Patent Court and the European Court and the European Court of Justice.
