Designs consisting of logos, visuals, slogans and colors of the brand to be registered must be prepared in a computer environment.
The application form, which includes official information about the brand and the classes in which the brand will serve, must be filled out completely and accurately.
Trademark registration applications can be made on behalf of an individual or a company. In applications made on behalf of an individual, Turkish identity and address information must be submitted; if it is made on behalf of a company, a tax certificate and activity certificate must be submitted.
The payment receipt showing that the application fee determined each sweden mobile phone numberyear by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office for trademark registration has been paid must be attached to the application documents.
After the trademark application is approved, it is meticulously examined by the Turkish Trademark and Patent Office. Accordingly, if no trademark is found to be identical or similar to the trademark requested to be registered during the examinations, the trademark requested to be registered is published in the official trademark bulletin. During a publication period of 2 months, the relevant persons have the right to object to the trademark requested to be registered. If there is no objection regarding the trademark included in the official bulletin published by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office, it is decided to register the trademark. Then, the registration certificate is obtained by completing the necessary procedures for the registration application and the trademark is now protected as registered.


Before starting the trademark registration process, a comprehensive and detailed research should be done. The fact that the trademark has been used before will prevent the application, while the existence of a similar one may extend the registration procedure. Before applying for a trademark, the trademark sample to be registered should be investigated in detail and the class scope in which it will be registered should be well determined. A careful preliminary research helps to minimize the obstacles that may arise during the trademark registration process and prevents the extension of the period.

Trademark registration procedures are a long process that begins with the application being made and the application being reviewed by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office. After the application is reviewed and accepted, it also includes the publication process in the official trademark bulletin so that interested parties can raise their objections.
