Notice No. 6/20

of the President of the German Patent and Trade Mark Office of 8 December 2020 concerning the amount of provision costs for the supply of machine-readable data (weekly publications on patents and utility models, trade marks and designs in the form of data packages via DPMAconnectPlus) in 2021

Within the scope of fulfilling its statutory duties in connection with the different types of IP rights, the German Patent and Trade Mark Office produces machine-readable data that can be supplied to third parties for setting up, developing and updating their own IP databases and other information systems and services. This requires the conclusion of a contract and the payment of the provision costs. These costs are determined on an annual basis and communicated to the public.
The costs for the provision of the weekly publications on patents and utility models, trade marks and designs in the form of data packages will be reduced from 10 euros in 2020 to 8 euros per data category and per delivery in 2021.

The President
of the German Patent and Trade Mark Office
Cornelia Rudloff-Schäffer
