Notice No. 6/2025

of the President of the German Patent and Trade Mark Office of 10 December 2025 concerning the amount of the 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 2026

Within the scope of fulfilling its statutory duties in connection with the different types of IP procedures, the German Patent and Trade Mark Office produces machine-readable data which can be supplied to third parties for setting up, developing and maintaining 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 and published on an annual basis.

In 2026, the costs for the provision of weekly publications on patents and utility models, trade marks and designs in the form of data packages remain unchanged compared to the previous year and amount to 8 euros per data type and delivery date.
