Interestingly the German word for a "patent", or licensing agreement, is "patentlizenzvereinbarung". As you can see, the root word transliterates easily into a number of languages besides English: Patente (Spanish, Italian), patentrettighed (Danish) or Latvian "patents".

Likewise, in Dutch and Norwegian, patent is simply "patent". With the French language, being the iconoclasts that they are, "brevet" is used to express what is patently known as a business trademark. As if this tawdry linguistic tale was not confounding (and tiresome) enough, in Greek look for the symbology δίπλωμα ευÏεσιτεχνίας to denote proprietary rights.

I dont know if they could of fit δίπλωμα ευÏεσιτεχνίας around the shoulders! That is interesting, so any Patent marked bottles from Germany would of been for the English speaking market most likely.

The German bottles are often marked Schutzmarke (trademark).
I would assume German bottles marked PATENT are for export.
