Why and How Should I register a Trademark in Turkey?

Registering a trademark in Turkey is essential for establishing ownership, preventing competitors from using similar signs, and strengthening your legal protection as your business expands domestically and internationally.

Turkey is a first-to-file jurisdiction, meaning that trademark rights are obtained primarily through registration—not through prior use. Although in a few exceptional situations extensive prior use may offer limited protection, the general rule is clear: to secure proper rights in Turkey, you must file and register your trademark.

A registered trademark gives you:

  • Exclusive rights over your brand for the goods and services covered
  • A solid legal foundation to stop infringers and challenge conflicting filings
  • A valuable commercial asset that can be licensed, assigned, or franchised

Trademark applications must be filed with the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TPTO) (previously known as the Turkish Patent Institute – TPE. Turkey is also a member of the Madrid Protocol, which means you can extend an existing international trademark to Turkey via the Madrid System (see our Madrid trademark services.

If you register a combined trademark (word + figurative element), your exclusive rights apply only to the exact configuration filed. If you also need independent protection for the word element or the figurative part, it is advisable to file additional applications.

Additionally, securing a trademark registration in Turkey can be advantageous if you wish to obtain a .com.tr domain name, as this extension is restricted to companies registered in Turkey or to holders of a Turkish trademark registration.

How Much Does it Cost to Register a Trademark in Turkey?

The trademark registration cost in Turkey is US$ 450 for the first class, plus US$ 450 for each additional class.

In Turkey a final registration fee of US$ 550 applies. This payment will only be due in case of successful registration.

This price includes both the official TPTO filing fees and iGERENT’s service fees.

What Documents are Required for Trademark Registration in Turkey?

Requirements vary by jurisdiction, but filing a trademark application in Turkey is very straightforward. No documents are necessary to file a trademark application before the TPTO.

Generally, you only need to provide:

  • The trademark (palabra y/o logotipo)
  • The list of goods and services (Nice classes)
  • Applicant details (name, address, and legal form)

Turkey does not require a power of attorney or formal certificates at the filing stage.

If the TPTO later requests clarifications, priority documents, or supporting materials, our experts will guide you step by step and help you prepare everything needed so your application remains complete and compliant.

How Long Does it Take to Register a Trademark in Turkey?

The average time to register a trademark in Turkey is around 15 months for straightforward applications. This is an estimated processing time based on current TPTO practice and may vary significantly depending on the specifics of each case.

The timeline can be extended if:

  • The examiner raises objections or requests clarifications
  • Third parties file oppositions after publication
  • There are delays in responding to office actions or providing additional information

Regardless of how long it ultimately takes, our trademark registration consultants will monitor all deadlines and notify you of every update, so you never have to worry about follow-ups or missed communications.

What Happens after the Trademark Registration Process in Turkey is Completed?

Once registered, your trademark in Turkey is protected for ten (10) years from the application date and can be renewed indefinitely in further periods of ten (10) years.

Renewal can be requested within the six (6) months before the expiration date. There is also a grace period of six (6) months after expiry, during which the trademark can still be renewed upon payment of an additional late renewal fee.

To maintain your rights without worrying about dates or procedures, you can rely on our Turkey Trademark Renewal Service, which ensures your renewals are handled on time and without stress.

Can I Oppose Someone Else’s Trademark Application in Turkey?

Yes. Turkey allows trademark oppositions during the official publication period.

If a third party applies to register or use a mark for similar goods or services that includes a primary or distinctive part of your trademark, you have the right to oppose the application on the basis of confusing similarity. The chances of success will depend on the specific circumstances of each case, including the similarity of the signs, the overlap in goods/services, and the strength of your earlier rights.

After the Turkish trademarks office has completed its examination, the application is published in the Official Trademark Bulletin (Resmi Markalar Bülteni). From the publication date, interested parties have two (2) months to file an opposition.

If you need to oppose a third-party application—or defend your own mark against an opposition—we can help assess your position, define a strategy, and prepare a strong, well-argued case.

Is Trademark Use Required to Maintain Registration in Turkey?

Use is not required at the time of application or registration in Turkey. However, actual commercial use becomes very important after registration.

If your trademark is not used in Turkey on a commercial scale within five (5) years after registration, it becomes vulnerable to cancellation actions based on non-use. In addition, prior or ongoing use may sometimes help overcome objections related to lack of distinctiveness.

If evidence of use is ever requested, whether in the context of an objection, opposition, or non-use cancellation action, iGERENT will help you gather and prepare the necessary documentation and guide you through the entire process.

How Can I Register a Three-Dimensional (3D) Trademark in Turkey?

Turkey recognizes three-dimensional (3D) trademarks, allowing protection for distinctive product shapes or packaging. The Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (Türk Patent ve Marka Kurumu) requires that a 3D mark be capable of distinguishing your goods or services from those of others and that it is not purely functional or derived solely from the nature of the goods.

Applications for 3D trademarks must include clear graphical representations from multiple angles (typically up to six views) so the shape can be fully understood. As a non-traditional mark, a 3D trademark is subject to stricter distinctiveness examination. If the shape is considered necessary to obtain a technical result or simply follows the nature of the product, registration may be refused. You can find more information on the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office website: https://www.turkpatent.gov.tr/.

If you’re considering filing a 3D trademark in Turkey, feel free to contact our trademark registration consultants online for a free, no-obligation assessment so we can evaluate your case and recommend the best filing strategy.
