After a bomb threat against the German Patent and Trademark Office and the Federal Patent Court on Cincinnatistrasse in the Perlacher Forst settlement, around 200 employees had to leave the building on Thursday morning. According to the police, the porter triggered the fire alarm around 9 a.m. after the threat was noticed.
The anonymous letter, which was rather brief and in German, was received by email. The police came with a search dog and special forces, but could not find anything. After almost an hour and a half, the all-clear was given – no explosives were found. The investigators did not provide any information on the exact content of the email.
