There is no single fixed answer to "how much does a trademark cost?" — the total is made up of several components and varies with the scope of your application. This article explains what drives the cost of trademark registration in Turkey for 2026, and why you will see very different prices quoted.
What Makes Up the Cost?
The total splits into two main groups: official fees paid to TÜRKPATENT and the attorney/consultancy fee. Official fees are updated annually by TÜRKPATENT.
1. Official (TÜRKPATENT) Fees
- Filing fee: The base fee, covering a single class.
- Additional class fee: Payable separately for each further class you want covered.
- Registration certificate fee: Paid once the application is accepted, for issuing the certificate.
- Opposition fees: Charged separately for actions such as opposing a published mark or appealing a refusal.
2. Attorney / Consultancy Fee
If you work with a trademark attorney, you pay a service fee covering the search, class selection, preparation of the file, monitoring of the process and management of any oppositions. This fee varies between firms according to the scope of service provided.
Factors That Affect the Cost
- Number of classes: The more classes you protect, the higher the official fees.
- Type of application: Word mark, figurative mark or a combination.
- Opposition proceedings: Facing an opposition creates additional cost.
- Scope of service: Filing only, or a package including search, watch services and legal support?

Why Are Trademark Prices So Different?
The wide range of prices in the market mostly reflects the scope of service being offered. A very low price usually covers nothing more than "submitting the application" — excluding the similarity search, correct classification, opposition monitoring and support in the event of a refusal. Missing these services raises the risk that the application is refused and the fees are wasted.
Is Cheap Trademark Registration Reliable?
Price alone is not an indicator of quality; what matters is which services you receive in return. If a cheap application filed without a search is refused, most of the fees you paid are not returned and you have to start over. For this reason, choosing the offer with the clearest and most transparent scope rather than the lowest price is more economical in the long run.
How to Calculate Your Total Cost
For a realistic budget, use this formula: (filing fee) + (number of additional classes × additional class fee) + registration certificate fee + any opposition fees + consultancy fee. To settle how many classes you need, we recommend reading our trademark classes guide first.

How Does the Number of Classes Affect Cost?
The number of classes is not just one item of cost but a recurring one: because the renewal fee is also calculated on the number of classes covered, a class added today "just in case" appears on the invoice every ten years. Classes not used for five years are also open to a revocation request.
