Trademark registration is a critical process that allows you to legally protect your business's name, logo, slogan or other commercial signs. This process secures your business's identity and reputation while preventing your competitors from using the same or similar signs. However, failure to manage the trademark registration process professionally can lead to serious legal and commercial losses. As Durdu Patent, we support you in protecting your business's rights by being with you at every stage of the trademark registration process.

Things to Consider During the Trademark Registration Process

Taking the right steps during the trademark registration process saves both time and money. Here are the most important points to consider:

1. Do Preliminary Research:

The first step in the registration process is to check whether your brand is unique. At this stage, a comprehensive research is conducted to determine whether your brand has been registered before. If an identical or similar brand is registered, your application may be rejected. Durdu Patent identifies potential problems in advance by conducting a detailed research during this process.

2. Determine the Right Class:

The classification of products and services in trademark registration processes determines the scope of protection for your brand. Choosing the wrong class may result in insufficient protection for your brand. For example, if you operate in the food sector, it is necessary to select classes specific to this sector. Our experts will guide you in determining the appropriate class for your business.

3. Prepare the Application Documents Completely:

It is very important to prepare the documents that need to be submitted in the registration application completely and correctly. Incomplete or incorrect documents may prolong the application process or cause it to be rejected completely. Durdu Patent speeds up the process by ensuring that your documents are prepared correctly and completely.

4. Be Prepared for Objections:

Third parties have the right to object after your application is published by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office. You can produce fast and effective solutions against objections by receiving professional legal support during this process. Durdu Patent manages the objection process on your behalf at this stage.

5. Give Importance to Post-Registration Processes:

Even after the registration process is completed, regular follow-up should be carried out to protect your brand. The registration period is 10 years in Turkey and renewal procedures must be carried out before this period expires. It is also important to receive regular monitoring services to ensure that your brand is not imitated.

Common Mistakes

Mistakes made during the trademark registration process can lead to major losses for businesses. The most common mistakes are as follows:

• Not Conducting Preliminary Research: Applications made without checking the uniqueness of your brand increase the risk of rejection.

• Incorrect Class Selection: Applying in the wrong class limits the scope of your brand's registration.

• Incomplete Preparation of Documents: Missing or incorrect documents cause the process to be unnecessarily prolonged.

• Neglecting to Renew the Registration Period: Failure to renew after the registration period has expired causes your brand to lose its scope of protection.
