Translated from Lieblingsbier.de:
On a warm early summer day in June 2012 was the German Patent and Trademark Office an application of a councilor brewery in Hamburg . While the German beer - brewing scene and wondered how they would make the summer and the first beers were enjoyed in the beer garden , was secretly and quietly carried out quietly the biggest attack on the young " Craft Beer Movement" in Germany .
Under the fluffy file number 3020120345018 lawyer Andreas Dichtl wrote ( known from the fritz gate process ) an application for a trademark for the alderman brewery to the German Patent and Trademark Office . Nothing exciting , as we have learned that it is important to brands to secure timely order to be able to manage other " professional". But this brand , which wanted to enter the alderman brewery , but then has a somewhat different emphasis .
Task of the lawyer was to register the word mark " Craft Beer " in the categories Nice 43 , 32 and 35th This means then that councilor has the sole disposal of the term " craft beer " in Germany , and this as a brand in the field of 43 ( Services for providing food and drink ), 35 ( advertising, management , business administration , office work ) and 32 ( may use beers and other beverages) sole ! Tedious to mention that the application was quashed and the application was withdrawn.
