The correction request was granted; no substantive trademark issue was decided.

Omnilex headnote

§ 80 Abs. 1 MarkenG; correction of obvious clerical errors in a decision: where the wording of an order contains an incorrect date designation, the court may correct it ex officio or on application if the mistake is apparent from the record and concerns no substantive reconsideration. The correction serves solely to align the operative wording with the intended procedural act and does not affect the substantive content of the decision.
