Intellectual Property Law

所有业务领域

For most technology companies and creative ventures, a trademark, a piece of software code, or an original design is the single most valuable asset. Yet the legal protection of these assets in Turkey can quickly become uncertain without proper registration, sound contracts, and, where necessary, effective enforcement against infringement. As an intellectual property lawyer in Antalya, we protect the IP rights of both domestic clients and foreign technology and software companies entering the Turkish market, at every stage from registration to dispute.

Trademark registration and opposition proceedings, copyright protection under Law No. 5846 on Intellectual and Artistic Works (FSEK), patent and design matters under Law No. 6769 on Industrial Property, software licensing and IP assignment agreements, and .tr domain name disputes are among the matters we handle most frequently. We assess each case alongside the client's commercial objective and, together, identify the path offering the strongest and most cost-effective protection.

我们的工作方式

We begin every matter by analysing the nature of the right to be protected and the client's commercial objective. In trademark and design matters, we first conduct a search of existing registrations and assess the risk of conflict and refusal before filing. In copyright and licensing disputes, we first weigh cease-and-desist and amicable settlement routes; where these fail, we pursue administrative proceedings before TÜRKPATENT or litigation before the specialised intellectual and industrial property court. Our foreign clients are kept informed at every stage in their own language, and we stand by them at every decision point.

常见问题

Can I use my trademark in Turkey without registering it?+
Unregistered use offers only limited protection; the strongest right in your mark, valid nationwide, is conferred by registration with TÜRKPATENT. Registration prevents others from registering an identical or similar mark and greatly facilitates legal enforcement in the event of infringement.
Is my software protected by copyright in Turkey?+
Yes. Computer programs are protected as works under Law No. 5846 (FSEK), and protection arises automatically upon creation of the work; no separate registration is required. Nonetheless, clearly regulating ownership and the scope of assignment in your contracts is critical to preventing potential future disputes.
What can I do if someone has registered the .tr domain bearing my trademark?+
If the domain is identical to your trademark or trade name, or confusingly similar, and the conditions of the Internet Domain Names Regulation are met, you may initiate the dispute resolution procedure or pursue the court route. The registrant's lack of a legitimate right in that name is one of the key factors that strengthen your claim.
