\begin{abstract}
Recently observations of a narrow baryonic state decaying to charged kaons and neutrons or $K^0_s$ mesons and protons have been reported by several experiments. This resonance could be identified as a candidate for the exotic 
$\theta^+(1530)$ pentaquark state. 
The H1 results on the search for the $\theta^+(1530)$ and its antiparticle in 
the invariant mass combinations of $K^0_s$ mesons with protons and 
antiprotons in deep inelastic scattering at HERA are reported. \\

The analysed data was collected in the years 1996 to 2000 by the H1 detector
and corresponds to a luminosity of 75$\rm pb^{-1}$. The kinematic range
$Q^2>5 \rm GeV^2$ and $0.1 < y < 0.6$ is investigated.\\
Upper limits at 95\% confidence level on the cross section
$\sigma(ep\rightarrow e \theta X \rightarrow e K^0 p(\bar p) X)$ 
are extracted as a function of the invariant $K^0_S p$ mass in bins of $Q^2$
for a visible range 
$p_T(K^0_s p)>0.5 \rm GeV$ and $|\eta(K^0_S p)|<1.5$ of the $p K^0$ system.\\
Over the mass range $1.48 < M < 1.7 \rm GeV$ these
upper limits vary between 40 and 120 pb.\\
For comparison with ZEUS upper limits are also extracted for the highest $Q^2$ 
bin, $20 < Q^2 < 100 \rm GeV^2$, 
using a visual $dE/dx$ selection and restricting protons 
to $p(pr)<1.5 \rm GeV$.
At a mass of M=1.522 GeV an upper limit on the $\theta^+$ production 
cross section  of 90 and 116 pb is observed, assuming a detector resolution of
5 and 8 MeV, respectively. 
This upper limit is compatible with the observed cross section of 
$\sigma(ep\rightarrow e \theta^+X \rightarrow eK^0pX)=
125 \pm 27(stat) +36 -28 (syst.) pb$  at $Q^2>20 \rm GeV^2$, 
$0.04 < y <0.95$, preliminary result from the ZEUS collaboration.
