10 years after you registered a trademark in Germany, you have to renew it, if you want, otherwise the copyright ends after the period you paid for. Well, next to the “Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt) other people want to make money of it and remind you, that your trademark ends soon. I guess they would also renew your trademark, but they charge €1300 and more instead of €750 which you have to pay for the Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt. Therefore: be careful when you receive a letter by “DMSV Deutsche Markenschutzverlängerung UG” which looks real, but is a service provider trying to scam you, charging literally €550 for what you can do for free.
