Securing a granted patent in Germany provides inventors and companies with exclusive rights that can support innovation, commercialization, and competitive advantage.
What is Patent Granting?

After a request for examination is filed, the DPMA reviews the application to assess whether the invention meets the required standards. If the examiner finds the application in order, the patent is granted and published in the official patent bulletin. The process usually takes two to five years, depending on the complexity of the case and response times.
