Overview

  • The Hamburg NGO Laut gegen Nazis holds an EUIPO‑registered trademark for the right‑wing shop name 'Druck18', approved in early 2025.
  • The organization announced it would gift the trademark in equal parts to the Federal Interior Ministry and the Thuringian Interior Ministry.
  • A 24‑hour deadline was set for the ministries to indicate whether they accept the transfer.
  • The Thuringian Interior Ministry said it had not been contacted about the offer and declined to comment further.
  • The NGO reported that the shop operator plans to contest any use prohibition in court, and it has previously registered other coded marks such as 'Döp dö dö döp', 'VTR LND', and 'enness'.
