Fact is that Halloween, not really known in Germany for many years, has meanwhile become a million dollar business. As you can imagine, the need for intellectual property rights - trademarks, designs, utility models and patents - therefore has increased. The GPTO has picked some unusual, fun and/or gruesome patents.

It's a fun article to read that we wanted to share with you - Link: https://www.dpma.de/english/our_office/publications/background/halloween...
