Check registrability before investing in design
Checking whether a new brand name, logo or packaging design can be registered before investing in it removes the risk of having to rebrand later. That is why running design and registration together is an advantage.

Frequently asked questions
How long does trademark registration take in Türkiye?
Applications without oppositions or deficiencies are generally registered within 6–9 months in Türkiye. Oppositions or refusals can extend this period.
How long is a Turkish trademark valid?
A trademark registration in Türkiye is valid for 10 years from the filing date and can be renewed every 10 years indefinitely.
Should the logo and the brand name be registered separately?
It depends on how the brand is used and on budget. A word mark gives broad protection, while a figurative mark protects the visual identity. We recommend the best filing strategy after the clearance search.
How can I protect my product design?
If a product's appearance, shape or pattern is new and distinctive, it can be protected by industrial design registration. For a technical invention, a patent or utility model application is evaluated.
