任何自然人或法人可申請注冊商標(biāo)。

在德國沒有營業(yè)所的申請人只要在其設(shè)有營業(yè)所的國家接受德國的商標(biāo)并且予以和其本國的商標(biāo)相同的待遇時(shí)才能依法在德國申請商標(biāo)保護(hù)。

另外,德國專利局還可以要求外國的設(shè)備申請人提供在其設(shè)有營業(yè)所的國家已經(jīng)提出并取得設(shè)備注冊的證明。

但這一要求將基于對等原則。

除了國際公約中另有規(guī)定的外,德國不允許核準(zhǔn)注冊未達(dá)到法定要求的商標(biāo)申請。

德國商標(biāo)的申請人資格和申請流程是什么？　　申請所需文件：。

　　1、商標(biāo)圖樣。

　　2、商品和服務(wù)清單。

　　3、外國申請人還需提供原屬國商標(biāo)注冊證副本,對給予德國公民特權(quán)的互惠國家公民無需認(rèn)證。

　　審查流程：專利局將對申請文件的形式以及商標(biāo)是否有注冊性進(jìn)行嚴(yán)格的審查。

但不對該商標(biāo)之前是否存在相同或類似的注冊或申請進(jìn)行審查。

對商標(biāo)的注冊性進(jìn)行審查后,對于有注冊性的商標(biāo)予以刊登商標(biāo)公告。

在公告期3個(gè)月內(nèi),任何相同或相似商標(biāo)的主持人或在先。

　　申請人都可以提出異議,由專利局作出裁定。

　　以下情況將不予注冊：。

　　1.申請注冊的商標(biāo)與在先注冊商標(biāo)相同,或指定的商品或服務(wù)相同。

　　2. 申請注冊的商標(biāo)與在先注冊商標(biāo)相同或近似,或指定的商品或服務(wù)相同或近似而造成公眾聯(lián)想的。

3.與在先注冊的馳名商標(biāo)在不同類別商品或服務(wù)上申請相同或近似商標(biāo),這種注冊商標(biāo)沒有合法理由的不公平使用將會(huì)給馳名商標(biāo)的顯著性和知名度帶來損害的。
