Why Germany asks for a legalised trademark registration certificate
The Indian trademark registration certificate proves your ownership of a brand. Trademark offices, customs and marketplaces abroad ask for it for priority claims, licence recordals, distributor registration and anti-counterfeit action. The trademark registration certificate is issued by the Trade Marks Registry of India.
European partners sometimes ask for apostilled licences and registrations as part of supplier due diligence.
Companies dealing with Germany are most often asked for a legalised trademark registration certificate during trademark filing and priority claims, as well as for recording licences and distributors and customs and anti-counterfeit enforcement.
A trademark registration certificate issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Germany accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
Germany accepts the MEA apostille. Authorities there may ask for a sworn German translation made in Germany; where a certified translation from India is accepted, we can arrange it.
