Intellectual and Industrial Property Law

Trade Marks

We assist throughout the lifecycle of a trade mark, from preparing registration applications and managing proceedings before TÜRKPATENT and international offices to oppositions and appeals against decisions. Our trade mark clearance, classification strategy and post-registration monitoring services help secure effective legal protection for your brand.

Patents and Utility Models

We provide technical and legal support at every stage of securing patent and utility model protection for inventions. We represent clients in patentability assessments, preparation of application documents, opposition proceedings before TÜRKPATENT and the European Patent Office (EPO), and licensing and assignment transactions.

Industrial Designs

We manage application, renewal and opposition proceedings for the registration and protection of industrial designs. From assessing novelty and individual character to proceedings concerning design infringement, we develop strategies aimed at preserving the value of design assets.

International Filings

We develop filing strategies and coordinate multi-jurisdictional proceedings for the registration and protection of trade mark and patent rights abroad through systems and offices including the Madrid Protocol, the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) and the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO).

We advise on the protection of authors’ rights, software copyright, licence agreements and assignments. We provide effective support in civil and criminal proceedings concerning copyright infringement and in the protection of digital content.

Intellectual Property Disputes

We represent clients before the courts in civil and criminal proceedings arising from trade mark, patent, design and copyright infringement, including claims for determination and prevention of infringement and damages. We also provide strategic advice on pre-dispute risk assessments and mediation.
