Detailed information – Renewal and TrackingWe listen to your business, your product and your goals. We identify your trademark, patent, design or geographical indication needs, and in the free preliminary meeting we explain the likely roadmap and the information and documents required.
Before filing, we search for similar trademarks and, where necessary, existing technical solutions. We assess the risks of refusal and opposition and present the results to you, together with alternative suggestions, as an easy-to-understand risk report.
We prepare application documents such as the trademark specimen, the class and goods-and-services list, the patent specification or the design images, and submit them for your approval. This way, we clarify every detail together before filing.
We file the application with the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TÜRKPATENT) and track the notifications from the Office and the statutory deadlines. When a deficiency needs to be completed or a correction is required, we inform you and prepare the necessary responses on time.
When your application is published, we monitor the opposition process. If a third party files an opposition, we prepare your defense; where necessary, we assess the remedies available under the legislation against refusal decisions and determine a strategy together with you.
Once your registration certificate is issued, your rights are on record. We are by your side on post-registration matters such as renewal, assignment, licensing and use, and we track renewal dates for you.
Trademark registration means having a sign (a name, logo, slogan, shape, etc.) recorded in your name with the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TÜRKPATENT) for specific goods or services. Under Industrial Property Law No. 6769 (SMK), registration gives you the right to use the trademark and to prevent others from using a similar one. Without registration, it is much harder to prove a claim of ownership. For the process, you can review our trademark registration service.
The trademark protection period is 10 years from the filing date. At the end of the term, protection can be extended indefinitely in 10-year periods through renewal. For renewal, an application must be filed within the periods set by the legislation and the relevant fee must be paid; if the deadline is missed, protection may end. For this reason, it is important to track the expiry date in advance. Our trademark renewal and monitoring service tracks these dates for you.
Under the Nice Classification, trademarks are grouped into 45 classes; classes 1–34 are goods classes and classes 35–45 are services classes. Protection is limited to the classes you select and the list of goods and services. For this reason, you need to make your choice by considering not only today's activities but also those you plan in the near future. To find your class, you can use our trademark class guide, and when you are not sure, you can consult us.
The Office examines the absolute grounds for refusal (such as lack of distinctiveness, descriptiveness, and deceptiveness) ex officio. It does not examine the relative grounds, that is, earlier trademark rights, ex officio; the earlier right holder raises them by filing an opposition within 2 months after publication. In the event of a refusal or opposition, there are defense and appeal routes within the periods set by the legislation. Our trademark opposition and cancellation service helps you manage these processes.
If a registered trademark is not genuinely used within 5 years from registration, there is a risk of cancellation for non-use. For this reason, it is important to actually use the trademark after registration and to keep evidence of use. The ® symbol can be used only for a registered trademark; using it at the application stage would be misleading. For details, you can see the related guide article.
Trademark protection is country-based; a Turkish registration alone is not valid abroad. With the Madrid Protocol, multiple countries can be selected through a single application via WIPO. This requires a basic application or registration in Türkiye, and for the first 5 years the international registration depends on the basic trademark. The 6-month Paris right of priority for trademarks and designs should also be taken into account. Details: international trademark registration.
