Frequently Asked Questions
How does the trademark registration process work?
The application is filed with the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office; following formal examination and assessment on absolute grounds for refusal, the application is published in the Official Trademark Bulletin. Third parties may file oppositions within two months of publication. Where no opposition is filed or an opposition is rejected, the trademark is registered and entered in the register once outstanding documents are completed.
How long does trademark protection last?
Under Industrial Property Law No. 6769, the term of protection for a registered trademark is ten years from the application date and may be renewed for successive ten-year periods without limit. The renewal request must be made within the six months preceding expiry of the protection term; if this period is missed, a further six-month grace period is available against an additional fee.
What claims may be raised in case of trademark infringement?
Under the Industrial Property Law, the determination, cessation and prevention of infringement, seizure of infringing goods, pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages and damages for loss of reputation may be claimed; publication of the judgment may also be requested. Given the length of proceedings, requests for interim injunctions are decisive in practice. Criminal liability also arises in the cases set out in the Law.
Is registration compulsory for copyright protection?
No. Under Law No. 5846 on Intellectual and Artistic Works, protection arises automatically once the work is created in a form bearing the characteristics of its author; registration is not a constitutive requirement. That said, the optional recordal and registration procedure available for certain categories of work provides practical convenience in proving authorship and date.
What is the difference between patent and design protection?
A patent protects inventions providing a technical solution to a technical problem and requires novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability; the term of protection is twenty years from the application date. Utility model protection does not require an inventive step and lasts ten years. Design protection concerns the appearance features of a product; for a registered design the term is five years and may be renewed in five-year periods up to a total of twenty-five years.
