Filing an Industrial Design Application in Germany: Step-by-Step Guide

 

Protecting the appearance of a product through an industrial design registration is a vital step for any company seeking to compete in the market. Whether developed in-house or outsourced, a product’s unique external features can provide a commercial edge and deter unauthorized copying. To achieve legal protection, one must submit a proper submission with the appropriate national or EU-level office. This article outlines how to effectively submit a commercial design application in Germany, and what to consider before and during the process.

Key Requirements for Industrial Design Protection

To successfully register an industrial model, the product must meet certain standards under German law:

  • Novelty – The visual appearance must not have been disclosed to the public before the submission date.
  • Individual character – The external look must leave a different overall impression compared to earlier creations.
  • Visibility in use – For components of complex products, the protected features must remain visible during normal use.

The scope of protection extends to the item’s aesthetic elements such as shape, lines, colors, textures, materials, and ornamentation.

Where to File: National vs. European Level

Protection of external product forms in Germany can be obtained at two levels:

1. National registration: Through the German Patent and Trademark Office (DPMA). This protects the item exclusively.

2. Community visual model registration: Filed with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), this protects the product in all EU member states.

A qualified consultant specializing in IP rights can guide applicants in choosing the right jurisdiction depending on the target market.

Filing an Industrial Design Application in Germany

Submitting a visual protection request involves several stages. It is advisable to prepare all documents in advance and ensure that the images accurately represent the product.

Required Documents

  • Completed request form
  • Representation(s) of the product’s appearance (drawings, photos, or digital renderings)
  • Description (optional, but can help clarify the visual scope)
  • Classification according to the Locarno System
  • Payment of the official fee

Filing Methods

Applicants can choose to submit the application:

  • Online via the DPMA website or DPMAdirektPro system
  • In paper form, sent directly to the DPMA
  • Through a registered agency or patent firm

In both cases, high-quality visual materials are critical, as protection is based solely on the appearance depicted in the submitted materials.

Tips for a Strong Design Filing

Here are key recommendations to enhance the strength and clarity of your filing:

  • Submit multiple views (front, side, top, perspective)
  • Use neutral backgrounds and consistent lighting
  • Avoid unnecessary decorative elements that may reduce clarity
  • Classify visual forms properly to ensure accurate indexing
  • If submitting several related versions, consider using multiple entries with bulk discounts

Role of Legal Support and Consultancy Services

Although filing can be done independently, working with a consultancy or legal provider often ensures higher quality results. Professionals understand local practice, formalities, and how to avoid procedural mistakes. A professional can:

  • Analyze existing visuals for novelty
  • Prepare high-quality representations
  • Provide guidance on scope and strategy
  • Handle communication with the registration office
  • Support the business in opposition or invalidity procedures

After Filing: What to Expect

Once submitted, the German Patent and Trademark Office does not examine the substantive content of the product appearance. Instead, they only verify formal compliance. If everything is in order, the model is entered into the register and published shortly thereafter.

The protection is granted for five years from the filing date, renewable up to a maximum of 25 years. The owner can enforce exclusive rights against unauthorized copying, use, or sale within Germany.

By following the correct procedures, any enterprise can efficiently secure exclusive rights to their product’s external features. Filing an industrial design application is not only a legal formality—it’s a strategic move to support innovation, branding, and market positioning. Whether acting alone or through a specialized service, timely action ensures that valuable product aesthetics are protected in a competitive landscape.
