Intellectual Property Law in Türkiye

Registration is an important part of protecting intellectual property rights, but effective protection may also require action when those rights are challenged, infringed or used without authorization.

Etiket Patent assists clients with intellectual property matters in Türkiye involving trademarks, patents and industrial designs, including administrative proceedings before the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TÜRKPATENT) and the coordination of legal matters where appropriate.

Trademark Disputes and Administrative Proceedings

Trademark disputes may arise during the application process or after registration. We assist clients with matters such as trademark oppositions, responses to oppositions, refusals and other administrative proceedings before TÜRKPATENT.

Each matter is assessed according to the relevant rights, registrations and circumstances of the case before an appropriate course of action is considered.

Intellectual Property Infringement

Unauthorized use or imitation of a registered trademark, patent or industrial design may require further assessment and action to protect the rights of the owner.

Where a matter involves infringement, unfair use or other legal proceedings outside the scope of trademark and patent agency services, we can assist with the preliminary assessment of the intellectual property rights involved and coordinate with qualified legal counsel where necessary.

Protecting Registered IP Rights in Türkiye

Effective intellectual property protection may involve more than obtaining registration. Monitoring relevant developments and responding appropriately to potential conflicts can be important parts of maintaining and enforcing registered rights.

We assist international businesses, trademark owners and foreign associates with intellectual property matters concerning Türkiye and provide a local point of contact for procedures before TÜRKPATENT.
