In Turkey, a registered trademark is protected for 10 years from the filing date, not from the registration certificate date. Protection can be renewed for further 10-year periods with no limit on the number of renewals.
- Renewal is requested within the period before expiry (currently the last six months), and a grace period with an additional fee is available after expiry.
- Renewal can keep all or some of the registered classes but cannot add new ones.
- A mark not genuinely used for five years without a valid reason may be revoked on request, so keep evidence of use.
- Protection is territorial: Turkish registration covers Turkey only.
- A significantly redesigned logo may need a new filing.
