In Brief: What Is Trademark Registration?

Trademark registration is the process of officially recording with TÜRKPATENT (the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office) the name, logo or figure that distinguishes a business's goods or services from those of its competitors. The process begins with a free preliminary search and, after TÜRKPATENT examination and the 2-month bulletin/opposition period, concludes with a registration certificate within 3-6 months. Registration grants the owner an exclusive right of use valid for 10 years and renewable, together with the standing to bring legal action.

Why Is It Necessary?

The Protection Provided
by Trademark Registration

An unregistered trademark means no legal protection. Gain full legal security against competitors with a registration certificate.

Right to Sue

In case of infringement you can claim damages in court.

International Expansion

Expand easily into 130+ countries via the Madrid Protocol.

Licensing & Assignment

Why Register Now?

Unregistered trademarks can be barred from use by a competitor who registers the same name first. TÜRKPATENT bulletins are published every week — if no one has taken your brand name yet, make the most of that advantage today.

Trademark registration is the process of officially recording with TÜRKPATENT (the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office) the name, logo, slogan or figure that distinguishes a business's goods or services from those of others. The registration certificate grants the owner an exclusive right of use and legal protection throughout Turkey.

An unregistered trademark is legally unprotected. Your competitors can register the same or a similar name and bar you from using it. Registration gives you the right to sue in case of infringement, claim damages and stop counterfeit goods at customs.

No, it is not legally mandatory; a trademark can be used without registration. However, unregistered use makes proving and protecting your rights in the mark almost impossible, which is why registration is recommended for every business engaged in commercial activity.

TÜRKPATENT's official examination and publication process takes 3-6 months on average. Preparing and filing your application takes 1-2 business days. If no opposition is filed, the whole process usually concludes within 4-7 months.

Our trademark registration service starts from ₺7.000 per package; this amount covers the official TÜRKPATENT fee and the attorney service fee. The final price depends on the number of NICE classes and the package you choose; request a free preliminary search for a firm quote.

For natural persons, Turkish ID details; for companies, the tax certificate/Trade Registry details, the trademark logo (if any) and the list of goods and services to be used or registered are sufficient. Our experts prepare the application form on your behalf.

We recommend filing in every class of goods and services you actually use or plan to use in the near future. There are 45 classes in total in Turkey; in the free preliminary search our experts determine the class combination that suits you best.

Yes. With Webx the entire process — preliminary search, document upload, payment and tracking — is carried out digitally, without visiting an office. You can follow every step of your application in real time from your client portal.

Word marks, figurative/logo marks, word+figure combinations, color marks, sound marks and three-dimensional shape marks can all be registered. Only descriptive or generic terms and signs contrary to public order cannot be registered.

No. Trademark registration protects a sign's ability (a word, a figure or a combination of both) to distinguish commercial origin; a logo, as a design element, can be protected both as a trademark and — if its shape is original — separately by design registration.

A trade name is a company's legal identity recorded in the Trade Registry and provides protection only as between trade names. A trademark, by contrast, is the sign that presents goods and services in the market and is protected by a separate registration with TÜRKPATENT; a company may have a registered trade name yet an unregistered trademark.

Decisions issued by TÜRKPATENT on absolute grounds for refusal can be appealed within 2 months. Our expert team prepares the reasoned notice of appeal; our success rate on appeals is above the industry average.

Once your application is published in the Official Trademark Bulletin, third parties may oppose it within 2 months. In that case we prepare a counter-statement in response; the process is handled by our Legal Protection team.

It is valid for 10 years from the registration date and can be renewed an unlimited number of times, every 10 years, before it expires. To avoid missing the renewal deadline, you can have your trademark tracked with our Trademark Watch service.

A trademark whose protection period expires without renewal becomes invalid and can be registered by third parties. Renewal can be made without a surcharge up to 6 months before expiry; after that a late fee applies.

Yes. A single application under the Madrid Protocol can secure protection in 130+ countries; direct filings with regional or national offices such as the EU IP Office (EUIPO) or the US (USPTO) are also possible. Contact us for your international registration needs.

Yes. Under the principle of reciprocity, foreign natural and legal persons may file trademark applications in Turkey. Applicants without a domicile in Turkey must act through an authorized trademark attorney.

Yes, it can be used, but such use creates no exclusive right. Unless you register it, someone else can register in their own name the goodwill you build through unregistered use and bar you from using it.

Trademarks not used continuously for 5 years from the registration date can be revoked by court decision at the request of interested third parties. This is why actually using your trademark after registration matters.

Yes, a registered trademark can be assigned in whole or in part, licensed to third parties or pledged. All such transactions gain legal effect once recorded in the TÜRKPATENT register.

Yes. Sole proprietorships, capital companies (joint-stock and limited liability) and natural persons may all file trademark applications in their own name. The applicant is not required to be commercially active in relation to the trademark.

Trademark attorneyship requires a separate authorization from being a lawyer (the TÜRKPATENT trademark attorney examination). At the application stage an authorized trademark attorney is sufficient; in litigation and court proceedings, attorney support is required. Webx has both specializations in house.

The preliminary search is a mandatory step taken to minimize the risk of your application being refused by TÜRKPATENT. By offering it free of charge we warn you in advance about risky filings and save you from paying official fees unnecessarily.

Strongly recommended. Marketplaces such as Trendyol, Hepsiburada and Amazon require a registration certificate for trademark infringement complaints; unregistered brands risk being removed from the store on unfair competition claims.

Yes. A registered trademark forms the legal basis of a franchise agreement. If the license/franchise rights to an unregistered trademark are transferred, your entire franchise system is at risk the moment a third party registers the mark.

Following TÜRKPATENT's registration decision it becomes instantly available through the e-document system; a physical registration certificate can be requested separately. You can download the digital copy from your client portal.

From the Webx client portal you can see every stage of your application at TÜRKPATENT (examination, publication, opposition period, registration) in real time and receive SMS and email notifications.

This is our risk-free package: if your application is refused on absolute grounds, we refund the full service fee you paid. For details Money-Back Guaranteed Trademark Registration page.

A trademark protects signs such as a name or logo that indicate the commercial origin of a product or service; a patent protects the technical invention or innovation itself. Both the brand of a product and its production technology (its patent) can be registered separately.

While a trademark protects a distinctive sign, design registration protects the visual/aesthetic appearance of a product (shape, pattern, color combination). For example, both the brand name on a package and its distinctive shape can be registered separately.

After registration, similar new applications may be published in the bulletin; if you do not follow them, you may miss the 2-month opposition period. Our Trademark Watch service scans the weekly bulletin automatically and notifies you instantly.

Yes. For our corporate clients we offer simultaneous filing of multiple trademarks and portfolio management from a single portal; special pricing applies to bulk filings.

Yes, credit card installments are available on package fees. For current installment options Pricing page, or get in touch with us.
