3

Get an expert opinion

Let our licensed attorney assess registrability and start your application.

WHY SEARCH?

Why searching before you file is critical

In Turkey, trademark protection follows the "first to file" principle. If a similar name was registered earlier in the same class, your application may be refused; a pre-search shows this risk first.

Reduce refusal risk

Spot conflicting marks in advance and position your name or class accordingly.

Avoid fee and time loss

Official fees on refused applications are not refunded. A pre-search prevents a wasted filing.

Pick the right class

Choose the Nice classes that fit your activity and keep your protection complete.

Anticipate oppositions

Assess up front the chance that similar-mark owners oppose your publication.

READING RESULTS

What the status labels mean

Registered

The mark is protected and in force. An identical or similar name in the same class carries high conflict risk.

Under examination

An application is filed and the TURKPATENT examination is ongoing; opposition and publication stages are not yet complete.

Refused

The application was refused by the office. Re-evaluating a similar name may still be possible.

Invalid

Protection has lapsed or been cancelled. The name may be open to a fresh application.

CROSS-BORDER

Need a trademark search abroad?

A Turkey-only search is not enough: records in your export markets should be checked in the international registers too.

WIPO (Madrid)

Trademark protection in many countries with a single filing under the Madrid Protocol; similarity search in the international register.

EUIPO

European Union trademark (EUTM) records; one registration covers all 27 member states.

USPTO

The US trademark register; a similarity check before entering the American market is essential.

What Is Trademark Search?

Trademark search is the process of checking whether a trademark is eligible for registration. It also checks whether similar trademarks already exist. Trademark search is an important step to take before filing a new application. It helps you detect conflicts with existing trademarks. You can run the search through the TÜRKPATENT (the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office) trademark database, or our experienced trademark agents can handle it free of charge.

Trademark registration is the process of legally protecting a business name, logo, or product. A registered trademark grants the owner exclusive rights. It prevents others from using the same or a similar mark. This secures the trademark and prevents misuse.

Building and protecting a brand is critical for a business's success. Registration is part of the process, but taking the right steps before you begin matters. So why should you run a search?

Why Run a Trademark Search?

Some of the important reasons to run a trademark search:

  • Registrability Check: A trademark search helps you evaluate the likelihood your application will be accepted. Choosing a registrable trademark raises the odds of approval.
  • Avoid Conflicts and Disputes: Trademark search helps you identify similarities and conflicts with existing marks. This helps prevent future legal disputes.
  • Save Time and Resources: Run a search before filing so you do not waste time and resources on unnecessary applications.
  • Reduce Legal Liability: Using similar or identical trademarks can lead to legal liability. Trademark registration search mitigates that risk.

How Trademark Search Works

  1. Trademark Research: We run a thorough search to check registrability. The search identifies whether the trademark conflicts with similar or identical existing marks.
  2. Database Check: We review trademark registration databases to confirm uniqueness, which helps prevent potential conflicts.
  3. Commercial Registry Research: We check whether similar or identical trademarks exist in the commercial registry. This improves the odds of successful registration.
  4. Online Searches: Online searches check whether the trademark is being used elsewhere. This helps detect potential similarities and conflicts.
  5. Legal Consultation: Legal consultation matters during registration. It helps you assess registrability and identify potential legal issues in advance.

Benefits of Trademark Research

  • Competitive Analysis: Trademark research analyzes competitor and registered trademarks, strengthening your competitive position.
  • Hierarchical Analysis: The similarity levels and hierarchical relationships between trademarks are considered. We evaluate whether the trademark you want to register is compatible with others.
  • Sector Analysis: Reviewing other trademarks in your sector helps determine registrability potential.
  • Long-Term Strategic Evaluation: Trademark research evaluates long-term strategic value, helping you understand the future value and benefits of the trademark.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

About trademark search

Can a Trademark Search Be Done Free of Charge?

A basic trademark search can be carried out free of charge through the TÜRKPATENT online search system. However, not finding an identical trademark on the search screen may not mean that there is no similarity risk. You can request a preliminary search through the free trademark search page of Sistem Patent by sending us your trademark name and your field of activity. Identical or similar records are then assessed and you can be informed about the possible risks ahead of an application. Please note: This content has been prepared to give general information. Not finding an identical or similar record in a trademark search does not mean that the application will definitely be accepted. Every trademark application is examined on its own terms and the final assessment is made by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office.

Can I Add a Class After Filing a Trademark Application?

You cannot add new classes after submitting an application to TÜRKPATENT. Once an application is complete, you cannot include a new class. Classes must be selected carefully before applying. If you notice a missing class, you need a separate application for protection, though you can claim priority. Determining the complete classes before applying prevents process delays and extra fees.

Can Individuals Register a Trademark?

Yes, individuals can register a trademark. You do not have to form a company to register a trademark; Turkish citizens can file a trademark application without setting up any company. Requirements for Filing as an Individual Be over 18 Reside in Turkey (foreign nationals can also file through an agent) Provide name, address, and trademark information correctly on the application form Pay the fee Pick the Nice classes the trademark will be used in

Could My Trademark Be Rejected?

Yes. If your trademark is likely to be confused by consumers with another registered mark, it can be refused. For example, if your business name is very similar to another business name in the same sector, add a trademark agent to your registration process. This person helps you through the registration. This can help reduce the risk of your trademark being refused.

Does a Trademark Registered in Turkey Count As Registered Abroad?

A trademark registered in Turkey does not provide protection in another country. To secure registration, an international trademark application must be filed in the desired country.

Do I Need to Pay Any Fees After Trademark Registration?

tag, rewrite it.

Do I Pay Trademark Registration Fees Every Year?

Trademark registration fees are not paid every year Trademark registration provides legal protection for a business's products or services. To keep this protection valid, the trademark owner or their agent must pay fees at specific times. The payment schedule depends on the date the registration was completed. After an application is approved, the initial registration fee is paid. Following receipt of the trademark registration certificate, the first fee covers a 10-year period from the approval date. When this period ends, the trademark owner pays a renewal fee to keep the mark active. Late payments require particular attention. If the trademark registration fee is not paid on time, the mark's protection ends. TÜRKPATENT (the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office) provides a grace period for late payments. During this time, the registration can be renewed by paying an additional fee. This process helps trademark owners manage their costs. Other points also need attention after registration. A trademark owner may want to prevent applications for similar marks. To do this, they must monitor every published trademark bulletin. If a similar application appears, an opposition procedure must be filed. Instead of managing these processes personally, trademark owners can work with specialized attorney firms. These firms provide full-scope support for annual fee payments, renewal procedures, and trademark monitoring. This consultancy removes the burden of handling tasks alone and reduces the risk of errors in legal processes.
