Trademark Renewal Process in Turkey

Understanding Trademark Renewal
In Turkey, trademark registrations are valid for ten years from the filing date. To keep your trademark rights active, you must renew the registration every ten years. Failing to renew your trademark can result in the loss of protection, potentially allowing others to use your mark.
Renewal Process
The trademark renewal process in Turkey involves several steps:
- Monitoring the Renewal Date: It is crucial to keep track of your trademark’s expiration date. We recommend starting the renewal process at least six months before the expiration to avoid any last-minute issues.
- Filing the Renewal Application: The renewal application must be filed with the TURKPATENT. This can be done as early as six months before the expiration date or up to six months after the expiration, with the payment of a late fee.
- Payment of Fees: The renewal application requires payment of the official fees. These fees vary depending on the number of classes your trademark is registered under.
- Documentation: Ensure that all necessary documents are accurately prepared and submitted. This includes proof of payment and any additional forms required by the Türk Patent.
Consequences of Non-Renewal
If a trademark is not renewed within the designated time frame, it will be canceled. This cancellation can expose your brand to risks such as unauthorized use or imitation by competitors, which can significantly impact your business.
