In 1957, the brand NARVA was registered as an individual trademark in the national trademark register of the German Democratic Republic - at that time for the usage by VEB Glühlampenwerk Plauen. The well-established trademark was used by all companies of the former combine NARVA for their respective products. A re-registration - now as a collective mark - and foundation of the trademark association was the requirement for it.

The foundation meeting of the NARVA trademark association took place on 30.05.1963 in Berlin at the premises of the VEB Berlin Glühlampenwerk. The former management then applied for the association to be registered in the register of associations, which finally took place on 20.08.1963.
