In Turkey, trademarks are registered with the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TÜRKPATENT) under the Industrial Property Law. The typical steps are:
- Decide whether to protect the word, the logo or both.
- Search for identical and similar marks in the relevant classes.
- Select goods and services using the Nice Classification.
- File online and pay the application and class fees.
- Pass formal and substantive examination.
- Publication in the Official Trademark Bulletin, followed by the opposition period.
- Pay the registration fee and receive the certificate.
File early, avoid descriptive names and remember that Turkish registration only protects you in Turkey. Procedures and fees change, so confirm details with TÜRKPATENT and a trademark attorney. Racoun is not a trademark attorney; we create distinctive, registrable brands and prepare logo files suitable for filing.
