Collector's Corner:

There is disagreement among sources regarding the exact meaning of the acronym "D.R.G.M." Some sources suggest that it stands for "Deutsches Reichsgebrauchsmuster," while others suggest that it stands for "Deutsches Reichs Gebrauchs Musterschutz." Both of these terms refer to types of intellectual property protection in Germany that are similar to patents. In most references, The acronym "D.R.G.M." stands for "Deutsches Reichsgebrauchsmuster," which roughly translates to "German Reich Registered Design." The D.R.G.M. registration was used in Germany from 1891 to 1949 to protect the intellectual property rights of inventors and manufacturers.
The registration process was similar to a patent, but less expensive and provided a lower level of protection. D.R.G.M. registration provided a legal framework for protecting the design of a product, rather than its function or technology. This allowed manufacturers and publishers to protect their designs and products from being copied by competitors, without having to pay the high fees associated with obtaining a full patent.
Products and books made in Germany during this time period may have been stamped with the D.R.G.M. designation to indicate that they were registered with the German government. This mark would have provided legal protection for the design of the product, but would not have been a guarantee of quality or authenticity.

The acronym "D.R.P." or "DRP" stands for "Deutsches Reichspatent," which translates to "German Reich Patent." It was introduced in 1877 and was used to indicate that a product or design was protected by a German patent.
Before the introduction of the D.R.P. system in 1877, various states within Germany issued their own patents. The introduction of the D.R.P. system provided a standardized national patent system that applied to all of Germany, rather than just individual states.
Publishers and manufacturers who could afford to obtain a German patent could stamp their products with the D.R.P. mark to indicate that their designs or products were protected by a national patent. This would have provided legal protection for their intellectual property rights and prevented others from copying their products without permission.
