    The applicant may, from the date of publication in German (of the international application or of a translation thereof), claim from any person who uses the subject of the application, although he knew or should have known that the invention used by him was the subject of the application, compensation appropriate to the circumstances. The applicant is not entitled to enjoin the use of the subject of the application. However, no claim for compensation is provided for if the subject of the application is obviously unpatentable (refer to Section 33, paragraph 2 of the Patent Act [PatG] and Article III Section 8 of the Act on International Patent Conventions [IntPatÜbkG]).
    欧州特許を目的とする指定の場合：
    (1) International application published in one of the EPO official languages: compensation appropriate to the circumstances, on condition that the national requirements (that a German translation of the claims in the application be published or transmitted to a possible user) have been met (refer to Art. II, Sections 1 and 2 of the Act on International Patent Conventions).
    (2) International application published in a language which is not an EPO official language: the protection referred to in (1) does not become effective until the EPO publishes the translation of the international application supplied to it in one of its official languages and the national requirements referred to in (1) are met.

    優先権を主張している先の国内出願に関する特別の規定があるか，その規定による効果は何か
    Article III, Section 4(4) of the Act on International Patent Conventions provides that the filing of an international application designating Germany and claiming the priority of an earlier national patent application or utility model application filed with the German Patent and Trade Mark Office shall have the result that the earlier national application is deemed withdrawn upon entry into the national phase of the international application. However, this will only take effect if the national application whose priority is claimed relates to the same kind of protection as the international application (e.g. patent/patent). Pursuant to Article III, Section 4(2) of the Act on International Patent Conventions, the international application enters into the national phase without further action by the applicant, provided the German Patent and Trade Mark Office is both receiving Office and designated Office and the international application has been filed in the German language. In this case, the national filing fee is deemed paid by payment of the transmittal fee (Article III, Section 4(2), last sentence of the Act on International Patent Conventions). Consequently, if the applicant wants to avoid the withdrawal of the earlier national application, pursuant to PCT Rule 4.9(b), he may exclude Germany from the automatic designation or may consider withdrawing the designation of Germany subsequent to the filing of the international application but before entry into the national phase

    PatG Sec. 38

    Before any decision is taken on the grant of a patent, amendments may be made to any part of the application, provided that the scope of the subject matter of the application is not broadened thereby, but only until the request for examination has been received, if the amendment involves the rectification of an obvious mistake, correction of a deficiency noted by the Examining Section or amendments to the claims.
    It is to be noted that, during opposition procedure following the grant of the patent, amendments to the description, claims or drawings may still be made, but only within the scope of the patent as granted.

    The applicable procedure is outlined in paragraphs NP 6.018 to NP 6.021 of the National Phase. If, upon review under PCT Article 25, the Office denies an error or omission on the part of the receiving Office or the International Bureau, an appeal against this decision may be lodged within one month from the date of receipt of the decision. Within the same one-month time limit, a fee for appeal must be paid. The Federal Patent Court will then decide on the appeal.

    Reference is made to paragraphs NP 6.022 to NP 6.027 of the National Phase. Reinstatement may be requested where the applicant, through no fault of his own, has failed to comply with a (statutory) time limit during the international phase or before the Office and non-observance of the time limit is detrimental to his rights. Reinstatement is excluded, however, for missing of the time limit for filing an application for which priority of an earlier German application is claimed, whereas reinstatement may be requested if priority of an earlier foreign application is claimed. A request for reinstatement must be presented in writing within two months after the removal of the cause of the failure to perform the action but not later than one year from the expiration of the time limit which has not been observed. Within these two months, the omitted act must be completed and the request must state the facts which justify the reinstatement; these facts must be substantiated [glaubhaft machen]. In addition, it is possible to request further processing of the application if the application has been rejected following a failure to observe a time limit fixed by the Office. The request for further processing shall be filed within one month after notification of the decision to reject the application. The omitted act must be completed within this time limit and a fee must be paid. The amounts of fees for further processing are indicated in Annex DE.I. Reinstatement of rights in respect of the time limit to request further processing is not possible.

    If the applicant wishes to obtain utility model registration in Germany on the basis of an international application
    (i) instead of a patent or
    (ii) 特許に追加して，
    the applicant, when performing the acts referred to in PCT Article 22 or 39(1), shall so indicate to the designated Office. Where no special acts are required for entry into the national phase, because the Office is both the receiving Office and designated Office, and the application was filed in German, the applicant shall nonetheless be responsible for the timely execution of his right of choice under PCT Rule 49bis.1.
    DE.15
    PatKostG Sec. 3(2),
    PatKostG Sec. 7(1)

    If the international application is for a utility model instead of a patent (refer to the case referred to in paragraph DE.14(i)), the requirements are basically the same as for patent applications except that the applicant is not required:
    (i) to furnish a translation of the abstract,
    (ii) to furnish a declaration concerning the inventor,
    (iii) to make a request for examination, and
    (iv) to pay annual fees.
    Instead of annual fees, maintenance fees become due for utility models. The due date, amounts and terms of protection are indicated in Annex DE.I. The maximum term of protection is 10 years from the international filing date.
    DE.16
    IntPatÜbkG Art. III,
    Sec. 4(2)

    If the international application is for both a utility model and a patent (refer to the case referred to in paragraph DE.14(ii)), the applicant must, within the time limit applicable for entry into the national phase, comply with the following requirements:
    (i) pay two filing fees for both the patent application and the utility model application,
    (ii) where the international application was not filed in German, furnish a translation into German,
    (iii) furnish the translation of the international application (if any) in duplicate.
    The requirement (iii) may still be complied with within a time limit fixed in an invitation by the Office, if not already complied with within the time limit applicable for entry into the national phase.
    DE.17
    GebrMG Sec. 5
    In addition to the options mentioned under DE.14 a national utility model application concerning the subject matter of an earlier national, international or European patent application for a national or European patent for Germany may according to national law claim the filing date of that earlier patent application provided the utility model application is filed before the expiration of two months from the end of the month in which the patent application is disposed of or in which the opposition procedure, if any, is terminated, at the latest, however, up to the end of the tenth year from the date of filing of the patent application. Any priority which is claimed in the earlier patent application under the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property will also apply to the subsequent utility model application.

    Where the international application has been filed with the German Patent and Trade Mark Office as receiving Office, the filing fee is considered to have been paid with the payment of the transmittal fee (IntPatÜbkG Art. III, Sec. 4(2)). The filing fee for entry into the national phase is calculated on the basis of the number of claims in the international application as originally filed, and not as subsequently reduced, if applicable. A subsequent addition of claims may increase the amount of the filing fee. For further general information, refer to: https://www.dpma.de/english/services/fees/patents/index.html.
