Intellectual Property Law
Trademarks, patents, designs and copyrights rank among the most valuable assets of modern businesses. We provide comprehensive legal advisory on protecting, registering and effectively managing these assets.
In infringement situations we diligently pursue the necessary civil and criminal proceedings, and provide strategic support aimed at protecting and enhancing the commercial value of intellectual rights.
Trademark Registration & Portfolio Management
We provide legal support and process monitoring for national trademark registrations before the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TÜRKPATENT), international registration under the Madrid Protocol and EU trademark system applications, working in collaboration with trademark and patent attorneys. Regular monitoring of the trademark portfolio, renewal tracking and strategy for opposing competing applications are natural extensions of this service.
Counterfeiting & Infringement Proceedings
We have rapid response capability for precautionary seizure requests against counterfeiting and infringement claims, material and moral damages cases and unfair competition actions. Particularly for infringement incidents on e-commerce platforms, we apply an effective multi-channel defence system, starting with fast platform notification procedures.
Technology Transfer & Licence Agreements
Licence agreements, know-how transfers, source code contracts and arrangements in the context of academia-industry cooperation require the effective commercial use of intellectual rights while also raising tax and competition law dimensions. We produce integrated and outcome-oriented solutions at the intersection of these disciplines.
