Trademark Registration in Turkey
Overview of Trademark Protection in Turkey
The Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TÜRKPATENT) is responsible for overseeing trademark registrations in Turkey, granting exclusive rights across the entire country with just one application. As Turkey is a member of the Madrid Protocol, it offers businesses the opportunity to designate their trademark in an International Registration through the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), simplifying the process of securing trademark protection in multiple countries.
For businesses aiming to establish or expand in the Turkish market, registering a trademark ensures your brand is fully protected against infringement and that you maintain exclusive control over its use nationwide.. With Turkey’s strategic location bridging Europe and Asia, a trademark registration not only protects your business in the growing Turkish market but also enhances your competitive advantage across the region, particularly as Turkey’s economy continues to evolve as a key player in the Middle East and Europe.
