We protect what shapes the future: DPMA in the Gallery of Changemakers in IP Examination

Gallery of Changemakers

The German Patent and Trade Mark Office (DPMA) is part of the externer Link "Gallery of Changemakers in IP Examination". The World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) published this gallery on the occasion of "International IP Examiners Day" on 11 November 2025. The online gallery presents examiners from all over the world who protect innovations and secure intellectual property. Dr Veronika Kleißl (patent division) and Monika Sedat (trade mark division) are represented from the DPMA. They show how varied and demanding the work of an examiner is – from technical and legal expertise to social responsibility. On our newly designed career pages, interested parties can find out about the job profiles, entry opportunities and fields of work behind this work – and how they can become part of a team that protects and promotes innovation in Germany, thereby strengthening prosperity in Germany. Further information on the "Gallery of Changemakers in IP Examination" and the "International IP Examiners Day" can be found on the externer Link WIPO website.
