The founding of the Imperial Patent Office in 1877 brought about nothing less than Germany’s unity in the field of industrial property protection. From then on, uniform national patents, which for the first time were valid throughout the country, have secured the protection of technical inventions. This was a novelty in the history of our country, just like each of the many innovations for which these national IP rights have been granted since 1877. Last year, the 140th anniversary of the patent office in Germany offered an opportunity for us to look back on the history of our office and the developments in the patent system since 1877. The staff of the DPMA, who had dealt with this topic, discovered a lot of interesting facts and found quite a wealth of historical treasures. The joint productive efforts of all DPMA offices resulted in an exhibition in Munich, a guided history walk in Berlin and a series of articles with monthly contributions on the Internet as well as the jubilee publication “From imperial Germany to the digital age” produced by the office’s own printing shop. However, the anniversary was also an occasion for us to look ahead and think about the future course of our office with its many traditions, even develop it further in a goal-oriented way on the basis of our vision of DPMA2020. A strategic, visionary approach, if you like, which is not only supported by the office’s senior management and dictated top-down: Many divisions and work areas in the office are involved in the continuous development of DPMA2020 and we also regularly seek external expertise for the planning and implementation of sub-strategies. It is a dynamic process to which we would like to invite you, our customers, for example at specialist events such as the DPMAnutzerforum meeting. Please make use of this offer: Let us know your ideas about the further development of the DPMA and its services so that we can benefit from your visions. I am confident that this fruitful collaboration will also produce tangible benefits for you and your innovations! You may have noticed from the layout of our Annual Report that the further development of the DPMA is a matter of importance to us, which we as editors have also implemented and made visible in this publication. The 2017 Annual Report appears in a revised look; we have aired it with a fresh breeze and given it a modern concept. But don’t be worried: What has been important to you and to us is still included on the following pages – all information and statistics, for example on the development of IP applications and IP grants in the year under review. But the presentation is new, with many infographics. They have been designed by us to quickly provide you with concise and succinct information that is relevant to you. I hope you like the DPMA’s Annual Report, which is new in every respect, and find it a good and useful read! Yours sincerely, Cornelia Rudloff-Schäffer President of the German Patent and Trade Mark Office 2 TASKS AND ORGANISATION Annual Report 2017 Tasks and organisation The German Patent and Trade Mark Office: For the protection of your innovations. Inventiveness and creativity need effective protection. And this protection is provided by intellectual property rights - patents, utility models, trade marks and registered designs.

  • Porsche Design and Rodenstock Present New Eyewear Models for 2018
    Press Information May 2018 Porsche Design and Rodenstock present new eyewear models for 2018 Porsche Design Spring/Summer 2018 Eyewear Collection Stuttgart/Munich. Right on time for the opti spectacles trade fair in Munich, Porsche De- sign and Rodenstock will present fourteen new eyewear models in January 2018. One Icon- ics model, six sunglasses models and seven correction frames reflect the demanding, func- tional design that has already characterised Porsche Design for more than 40 years. The highlights of the new models include the limited Iconics “Laser Cut” model as well as the dynamic “Ti-Namic” line. Laser Cut – Highest Precision and Perfection With the Laser Cut (P’8663), Porsche Design has once again created unique spectacles that combine technological innovation and functional design. The Iconic Laser Cut (P’8663), with a frame of 100% titanium, captivates with cut-outs in the side areas of the middle sec- tion. The grey-tinted sunglasses lenses are milled precisely into them so that they are flush where they meet the outer edge of the frame, and at the same time are placed securely in the frame. Through the innovative processing technology, the lens gives the impression that it is floating in the wrap-around titanium band. Porsche Design consciously used pure mate- rial in the design. The P’8663 has absolutely no lacquering. The characteristic Porsche De- sign logo is engraved in the titanium temples by means of a special laser technique. The P’8663 supplements the Iconics series with another exclusive model. The Laser Cut belongs to the Gold category of Iconics and is therefore limited to 911 specimens.

Nimmen: Henry van de Velde Year in Germany and Belgium: Part One Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide 12, no. 2 (Autumn 2013) Henry van de Velde Year in Germany and Belgium: Part One Honoring the 150th birthday of painter, architect, and designer Henry van de Velde, Google posted a celebratory doodle on April 3, 2013. It was not a global doodle like the glitzy Kiss commemorating Gustav Klimt, displayed around the world in 2012. The pastel tribute to van de Velde could be seen in only a handful of continental markets: Belgium, where he was born in 1863; France, where in 1884 the young painter studied for a few months in Paris with Carolus- Duran and where in 1895 he created three sensational rooms for Siegfried Bing’s new gallery L’Art Nouveau; Austria, where he showed furniture at the Eighth Vienna Secession exhibition in late 1900; Germany, where he lived with his wife and growing family from 1900 until 1917; the Netherlands, where he settled in the 1920s; and Switzerland, where he died in 1957.
