Trademarks

Safeguarding your most valuable asset.

Brand prominence and reputation is undoubtedly one of the most important factors of success for businesses. Being able to exploit this legal asset requires actively building, nurturing and protecting it.

​

We are experts in trademark litigation as well as prosecution, enforcement and commercialization. We stand with our clients in every step of the way, providing strategic and legal guidance in order to protect their trademark portfolios.

​

Prosecution

We are registered trademark attorneys before the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office. Our trademark prosecution services cover domestic and international registration, monitoring and oppositions, renewals, assignments and all other proceedings.

​

Litigation

We handle all trademark related disputes, including trademark infringement, invalidation and cancellation actions and compensation claims. We place great importance on effectively utilizing preventative measures and temporary reliefs such as preliminary injunction requests and preliminary requests for determination of evidence.

​

Enforcement

Turkey is one of the biggest hubs of counterfeit production, sales and logistics between the Middle-East, Asia and Europe.

​

Effectively implementing an anti-counterfeiting campaign in Turkey requires a deep understanding of social, cultural, economical and judicial aspects of the issue. We are experts in criminal IP proceedings and anti-counterfeiting campaigns, providing services that cover the whole cycle of anti-counterfeiting endeavors, starting from the investigation, going through the criminal IP proceedings and ending with the destruction of seized products.

​

We also protect our clients' trademarks before customs administrations, enabling us to detect and take action against counterfeit items being exported from or imported into Turkey.

​

Commercialization

Trademarks are commercial assets, and like any other asset they need to be properly managed. We provide a wide range of consultancy services to our clients in order to help them properly commercialize their trademarks.

We negotiate and draft licensing and other trademark related contracts, conduct due diligence, and represent our clients during assignments and other trademark related transactions.

​

We help our clients with their day-to-day trademark portfolio management to help them mitigate risks and avoid taking wrong steps.
