DPMA: trade mark filing trends in 2011

In a press release of 24 October 2011 the DPMA (German Patent and Trademark Office) has provided an update on current Intellectual Property filing trends in Germany.  While there is an increase in patent and design applications,  slightly fewer national German trade mark applications have  so far been filed this year when compared to 2010, even though the number of filings was still high.  Cornelia Rudloff-Schäffer, the president of the DPMA, stated that many applicants also decided to file Community Trade Mark applications, so that the DPMA was "in competition" with OHIM.
