Trademark registration fees in Turkey in 2026 consist of two main official items: the application fee paid at filing (TRY 2,820 for the first class, item 02.01.01) and the registration fee paid after the opposition stage has closed (TRY 7,010, item 02.01.03). On that basis, the official total paid to TÜRKPATENT (Turkish Patent and Trademark Office) is TRY 9,830 for a one-class trademark and TRY 12,650 for a two-class trademark. Attorney service fees are not included in these amounts.
Below you will find, in order, every item of the 2026 schedule that relates to application and registration together with its code, the stage at which each fee is paid, worked examples for one, two, three and five classes, the difference between official fees and attorney fees, and the costs that arise after registration.
2026 TÜRKPATENT Trademark Registration Fees: The Itemized Schedule
In TÜRKPATENT's 2026 trademark fee schedule, the items that take an application through to registration, together with the fees that may arise depending on the circumstances, are as follows:
| Code | Item in the schedule | 2026 fee | When is it paid? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 02.01.01 | Single-class trademark application fee | TRY 2,820 | At filing |
| 02.01.02 | Trademark application additional class fee (2nd class) | TRY 2,820 | At filing |
| 02.01.28 | Trademark application additional class fee (for the 3rd class and each subsequent class) | TRY 3,150 | At filing |
| 02.01.34 | Trademark application additional class fee (for the 3rd class and each subsequent class selected among the 34 goods classes under group 35/5) | TRY 450 | At filing |
| 02.01.03 | Trademark registration fee | TRY 7,010 | After the opposition stage closes, on notification by the Office |
| 02.01.14 | Priority right recording fee | TRY 3,420 | At filing, if priority is claimed |
| 02.01.15 | Classification list arrangement fee | TRY 1,240 | If the Office considers it necessary to rearrange the list |
| 02.01.22 | Trademark application division fee | TRY 4,190 | If division of the application is requested |
| 02.01.17 | Fee for opposing applications published in the Official Trademark Bulletin | TRY 1,150 | If you oppose someone else's application, within 2 months of publication |
| 02.01.04 | Fee for issuing a copy of the trademark registration certificate | TRY 2,890 | If a copy of the certificate is requested |
| 02.01.16 | Priority right document issuing fee | TRY 1,980 | If priority based on the Turkish application will be claimed abroad |
These amounts are official fees paid to TÜRKPATENT and belong to the 2026 schedule. The schedule is updated every year; before taking any step, check the current amounts on the trademark fees page at turkpatent.gov.tr. The schedule has no separate item for the registration certificate itself apart from 02.01.03; item 02.01.04 relates only to a copy of the certificate. The fee for appealing an Office decision does not appear in the table above; if you take that route, confirm the amount with the Office at the time of filing.
What does fee item 02.01.34 cover?
Item 02.01.34 is a special additional class item tied to the retail services in the 5th group of Class 35 (35/5). In translation, its wording in the official schedule reads exactly: "Trademark application additional class fee (for the 3rd class and each subsequent class selected among the 34 goods classes under group 35/5)". The item provides for TRY 450 for the third and each subsequent class selected among the 34 goods classes under that group.
How the item applies to a particular application depends on which goods classes are referred to in the retail wording. For that reason, item 02.01.34 has not been used in the worked examples below; confirm the exact amount from the payment total calculated in EPATS when you file. We explain how to draft the retail wording in our guide to the goods and services list.
When Are Trademark Fees Paid? A Two-Stage Payment Timeline
Official fees are not paid all at once but at two separate moments: the application and class fees at filing, and the registration fee months later, once the application has passed every stage. In between, only fees that depend on the circumstances may arise.
Fees paid at filing
The application fee is one of the constituent elements of an application: Article 11(1)(ç) of Industrial Property Law No. 6769 (SMK) lists information showing that the application fee has been paid among the mandatory contents of an application. If this information is missing, the filing date shifts to the date, hour and minute on which the deficiency is remedied (Art. 15(2)). Because the filing date means priority, leaving the payment until after filing is a direct risk of losing rights.
In a multi-class application, if one of the additional class fees is missing and is not paid within the two-month period granted, the application does not lapse; it is examined only for the classes covered by the fee paid (Art. 15(3)). Under Article 9(5) of the Regulation on the Implementation of the Industrial Property Law (the Regulation), those classes are determined by the order in which they are written on the form, taking into account the applicant's request, if any. If priority is claimed, a separate fee is paid for each priority claim (Regulation Art. 15(5)); if the priority fee is not paid, the application proceeds but cannot benefit from the priority right (Regulation Art. 8(6)).
Paid after the registration decision: TRY 7,010
The registration fee is requested once the application has passed formal examination and examination on absolute grounds, has been published in the Official Trademark Bulletin, and the two-month opposition period has expired without opposition or any oppositions have been finally rejected (SMK Art. 22(1)). Under Article 12 of the Regulation, the payment information must be submitted within the two-month period granted by the Office; in the case of underpayment, a one-month additional period is allowed.
The registration fee is a single item, independent of the number of classes. If it is not paid, the application is removed from processing and the priority secured by the filing date is lost; we explain how the deadline runs and what follows in detail in our article on an unpaid trademark registration fee.
Fees that depend on the circumstances
Three items do not arise in every application. If the goods and services list has not been drafted in accordance with the Nice classification, the Office may, where it considers it necessary, ask for the classification list arrangement fee to be paid within two months; if it is not paid, the application is removed from processing (Regulation Art. 9(4)). If you want to split the application in two before registration, a division fee is paid (SMK Art. 11(5)). If you appeal a refusal decision, the grounds and the appeal fee must be submitted within two months of notification of the decision (SMK Art. 20).
In summary, the order of payments is as follows:
- Filing day: the application fee, any additional class fees and any priority fee.
- During examination (if needed): the classification list arrangement fee or the division fee.
- If a refusal is issued (optional): the fee for appealing the Office decision.
- After the opposition stage closes: the registration fee, within two months of the Office's notification.
- After registration: the renewal fee once every ten years; assignment or licence recording only if that transaction takes place.
Worked Examples: The Official Total for 1, 2, 3 and 5 Classes
The official total is the sum of the class fees at the application stage and the single registration fee. The general formula is: 2,820 (first class) + 2,820 (second class, if any) + 3,150 × (number of third and subsequent classes) + 7,010 (registration fee). Under TÜRKPATENT's 2026 schedule, the results are:
| Number of classes | Application stage | Registration fee (02.01.03) | Official total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 class | TRY 2,820 | TRY 7,010 | TRY 9,830 |
| 2 classes | 2,820 + 2,820 = TRY 5,640 | TRY 7,010 | TRY 12,650 |
| 3 classes | 2,820 + 2,820 + 3,150 = TRY 8,790 | TRY 7,010 | TRY 15,800 |
| 5 classes | 2,820 + 2,820 + (3 × 3,150) = TRY 15,090 | TRY 7,010 | TRY 22,100 |
The table has been calculated using item 02.01.28, the general item for third and subsequent classes; in applications to which item 02.01.34 applies, the amount for those classes may differ. Circumstantial items such as priority, classification corrections, division or appeals, as well as attorney service fees, are not included in the totals.
Two practical conclusions follow from the table. First, because the registration fee is fixed, its share of the total falls as the number of classes rises: with one class, the registration fee accounts for more than seventy percent of the official total, while with five classes it is less than a third. Second, the amount paid at the application stage is exposed to the risk of refusal, whereas the registration fee arises only if the application passes every stage.
How Does the Number of Classes Change the Cost?
Under the 2026 schedule, trademark registration fees in Turkey rise in steps with the number of classes: the second class adds TRY 2,820, and each third and subsequent class as a rule adds TRY 3,150, while the registration fee is not affected by the number of classes. It is therefore cheaper to protect the same mark in several classes in a single application than to split the classes into separate applications: the official total of two separate one-class applications is 2 × 9,830 = TRY 19,660, whereas a single two-class application costs TRY 12,650.
The cost of the class decision does not end at filing. The renewal fee is also calculated as a base amount "for up to two classes" plus an additional fee for each third and subsequent class, so every class added today reappears on the bill once every ten years. In addition, under Article 9 of the SMK, goods and services that have not been put to genuine use within five years of registration are open to a revocation request.
The opposite mistake is also expensive: the goods and services list cannot be broadened after filing. A forgotten class requires a new application, which means a new first-class fee plus a separate registration fee, that is, an official cost of at least TRY 9,830. You can strike the right balance using the criteria in our article on how many classes a trademark should cover.
Official Fees vs. Attorney Service Fees: What Is the Difference?
An official fee is the procedural charge set by TÜRKPATENT in its fee schedule, and it is the same whoever the applicant is. An attorney service fee, on the other hand, refers to what a trademark attorney or consultancy charges for the similarity search, preparation of the classes and the list, filing, monitoring of notifications and handling of oppositions; the amount varies with the firm and the scope of the service.
Applicants resident in Turkey can file through EPATS themselves; in that case the cost is limited to the official fees, but responsibility for the search, the list and deadline tracking also rests entirely with the applicant. Those whose domicile is outside Turkey, however, may be represented before the Office only by a trademark attorney (SMK Art. 160(3)).
If you are considering working with an attorney, compare quotes on the same scope. For Webx's current packages and what they cover, see our trademark registration prices page; whichever package you choose, check whether official fees are included and which stages are covered.
Questions to ask when comparing attorney quotes
- Are the official fee and the service fee shown on separate lines?
- Does the official fee in the quote cover only the application, or also the TRY 7,010 registration fee?
- How many classes are included, and what is added for each extra class?
- Is a pre-filing similarity search carried out, and is the result given in writing?
- If an opposition is filed or a refusal is issued, are the response and the appeal charged separately?
- Is there a written refund condition for the service fee in the event of refusal?
The official fee is the same with every attorney; the real difference between quotes lies in the service fee and the scope. We have gathered the other questions to ask when choosing an attorney in our article on how to choose a trademark registration firm.
Why Can a Cheap Trademark Registration Quote End Up Costing More?
Because a quote that looks low often leaves out some of the items that make up the total cost, or shifts the risk onto the applicant. When assessing a price, look at these five points:
- A price that excludes the registration fee: The official fee for the application stage is TRY 2,820 for a single class; the TRY 7,010 registration fee arises separately months later. For a one-class application, a price that covers only the filing shows less than a third of the total official cost.
- Filing without a search: If the application is refused, the official fees paid at the application stage are not refunded; trying again with the same mark means paying those fees again.
- A careless list: A list that does not follow the classification can lead to an arrangement fee or a partial refusal, while an unnecessarily broad list enlarges the surface for oppositions.
- No tracking of notifications: If the registration fee notification is missed, the application is removed from processing; refiling resets both the fees and the filing date.
- Oppositions and refusals left out of scope: Quotes in which the service ends when an opposition or a refusal decision arrives generate extra cost at the most critical stage.
A concrete comparison: if a two-class application is filed without a search and refused, TRY 5,640 in official fees is not returned, and the attorney's fee has usually been spent as well. A second attempt for the same mark means paying the application stage again from the start. Budgeting for a pre-filing search is the cheapest insurance against this scenario.
If the Application Is Refused, Are the Fees Refunded?
As a rule, no. Under Article 161(4) of the SMK, fees paid are not refunded unless otherwise provided; application and additional class fees are not returned if the application is refused. On the other hand, the registration fee is never requested for a refused application; the loss is limited to what was paid up to the stage at which the refusal came.
The Regulation provides for narrow refund cases; for example, duplicate or erroneous payments and the excess part of an overpayment are refunded on request (Regulation Art. 131(6)). A refusal on the merits, however, is not one of those cases. We cover all the exceptions in our article on fee refunds after a trademark refusal.
To address the risk of refusal, some service providers offer a refund guarantee through their own contractual undertaking. Because the Office does not refund official fees, the source of any refund under such a guarantee is the service provider. For Webx's money-back guaranteed trademark registration model, the preconditions, excluded cases and refund method are set out on the service page; read that text before deciding.
What Costs Arise After Registration?
After registration, the only recurring official cost is the renewal fee paid once every ten years; there is no annual maintenance fee. Other items arise only when the relevant transaction is carried out. The main post-registration items in TÜRKPATENT's 2026 schedule are:
| Transaction | Item | 2026 fee |
|---|---|---|
| Renewal (up to 2 classes) | 02.01.23 | TRY 8,730 |
| Renewal — each 3rd and subsequent class | 02.01.32 | TRY 750 |
| Renewal of a trademark whose term of protection has expired (up to 2 classes) | 02.01.24 | TRY 15,420 |
| Recording of an assignment or partial assignment | 02.01.06 | TRY 5,960 |
| Licence recording and licence renewal | 02.01.09 | TRY 9,870 |
| Copy of the trademark register entry | 02.01.05 | TRY 2,890 |
The term of protection is ten years from the filing date, and renewal is made within the six months before expiry; if that window is missed, the mark can be renewed at a higher fee within a six-month grace period after expiry (SMK Art. 23). You will find the class-based renewal calculation and details of the surcharged rate in our article on trademark renewal fees in Turkey 2026.
In your post-registration budget, also plan for protecting the mark: watching the Official Trademark Bulletin for similar applications and, where necessary, opposing them within two months is the spending that actually preserves the value of a registration.
KOSGEB Support and Accounting Treatment
Part of the official fees can be covered by support programs under certain conditions, and recording the expense correctly matters both for tax and for any support application.
KOSGEB and government support
The support programs of KOSGEB (Turkey's Small and Medium Enterprises Development Organization) may include items aimed at the cost of industrial property certificates. Support usually focuses on processes that end in a certificate, and rates and upper limits change from period to period. If you plan to apply for support, register the trademark in the name of the business that will receive the support and keep every payment document. For the current framework, see our article on KOSGEB grants for trademark registration; do not postpone filing while waiting for support, because priority is determined by the filing date.
Accounting and invoicing
Because trademark registration spending brings the business benefits spread over more than one year, it is in practice usually tracked as an intangible right; the final treatment should be decided with your accountant. A practical rule: the attorney's invoice should show the official fee and the service fee on separate lines, and the invoice should be issued in the name of the person or company in whose name the mark is registered. Details are in our article on accounting for trademark registration costs.
How to Plan a Trademark Registration Budget in 6 Steps
A realistic budget looks not only at today's application fee but also at the items that will arise up to and after registration:
- Decide on your classes: Base them on what you sell today and on activities you will genuinely launch in the near term; assess the "maybe" classes separately.
- Search before you file: Seeing the similarity and absolute-refusal risks before filing protects fees that will not come back.
- Calculate the official total: Use the formula above to budget the application stage and the TRY 7,010 registration fee together.
- Compare quotes on the same scope: The official fee is fixed; compare on the service fee, the search, opposition support and refund terms.
- Set the registration fee aside: Once the notification arrives, the two-month period runs; waiting for a payment approval or a budget must not turn into a loss of rights.
- Put the post-registration calendar in place: Add the five-year use requirement, ten-yearly renewal and the annually updated fee schedule to your plan.
Conclusion
Trademark registration fees in Turkey in 2026 are predictable and can be calculated item by item; surprises usually come not from the schedule but from incomplete planning. Key takeaways:
- The official total is TRY 9,830 for a one-class trademark, TRY 12,650 for two classes, TRY 15,800 for three and TRY 22,100 for five.
- Application and class fees are paid at filing; the TRY 7,010 registration fee is paid after the opposition stage closes, within a two-month period.
- If the application is refused, official fees already paid are not refunded; the registration fee is never requested for a refused application.
- The official fee is the same with every attorney; compare quotes on the service fee and the scope.
- The schedule is updated every year; check the current amounts at turkpatent.gov.tr before taking any step.
