Trademark Opposition Procedures

Oppositions Against Trademarks Published in the Trademark Bulletin

Trademark owners have the right to oppose to the trademark applications published in the Official Trademark Bulletin of the Turkish Patent Institute every month, on the grounds that they are similar to their previously registered trademarks, their previous usage and their rights on similar trademarks.

In order to be able to oppose to the trademarks published in the bulletin, which constitutes the most important part of the Registered Trademark protection, first of all, this application must be determined.

Since it will be very difficult for trademark bulletins to be followed by trademark owners and identifying similar trademarks, it is beneficial for trademark owners to get a Trademark Monitoring Service from an attorney company first.

Trademark Opposition Service Content

It is the process of opposing to the similar trademark published in the Official Trademark Bulletin by the Turkish Patent Institute on behalf of the registered trademark owners.

The formally and legal arrangement and preparation of the content of the opposition belongs to the attorney.

It is up to the client to provide the findings, data and evidence to support the opposition, but the attorney decides whether they can be used as a supporting element or not.

Information and evidence supporting the opposition remain confidential and will not be shared with third parties.

In the event that the trademark applicant company, which is a party to the opposition, is a client, no obligation to file the opposition is accepted. In such cases, there is no opposition service contract.

Pricing In addition to the objection fee to the trademark application published in the Bulletin deposited to TPI for the objection, it includes the opposition attorneyship fee.

Objection to Institute Decisions

An objection can be filed against the rejection or partial rejection decisions given by the Turkish Patent Institute as a result of the legal examination within 2 months from the notification of this decision. There must be a justified reason for this objection to be made.

If you are not a RMARK client; you must first appoint us as attorney. The attorney appointment process is free. Necessary documents are prepared by us.

The fee includes the Objection Fee and attorneyship fee against the Decisions of Turkish Patent Institute.
