CSU Registers 'Söder Kebab' Trademark Covering Food; Party Merch Already On Sale

The party, not Markus Söder, holds the rights and has licensed the brand to its subsidiary, but no consumer food product has been announced.

Overview

  • The word and image mark “Söder Kebab” is listed at the German Patent and Trademark Office under registration 302024008375, with a separate word mark also protected.
  • Trademark coverage includes classes 29 and 30 for meat, dairy and bakery goods, enabling potential food items under the brand.
  • Ownership lies with the CSU, which granted its subsidiary BAVARIA Werbe- und Wirtschaftsdienste GmbH a license to use the mark in April.
  • The CSU-FanShop is selling T‑shirts for €19.99 and hoodies for €35.99 featuring the red logo of Söder as a döner vendor.
  • Public uses to date have been promotional, including a CSU party congress döner stand and T‑shirt giveaways, and outlets report no retail “Söder Kebab” product and no detailed rollout plan.
