Patent and Utility Model
A trademark application is the first step to legally protecting a business's brand. During the application process, the registrability of the trademark, preparation of the application file, class selection, and the completion of all necessary documents are crucial. To ensure your trademark application is completed accurately and as quickly as possible, we support you through every step, from preparing the application form to submission to the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office. Additionally, we monitor the process at every stage to address any potential issues promptly.
Trademark Preliminary Research and Reporting
Before applying for trademark registration, it is essential to examine whether the trademark has already been registered by others or if there are similar trademarks. This preliminary research evaluates the suitability of the trademark name in the industry and its legal protectability. To ensure a smooth trademark registration process, we offer comprehensive preliminary research and risk analysis. We investigate the suitability of your trademark name both domestically and internationally and provide a detailed report on potential risks, ensuring the process progresses securely.
Trademark Monitoring and Protection
Once a trademark is registered, continuous monitoring is necessary to prevent unauthorized usage. The trademark monitoring process helps identify unfair use of the trademark by competitors or companies in different industries, enabling you to take the necessary legal actions. Kaizen Patent provides monitoring services to protect your trademark both in Turkey and internationally. During the monitoring process, we track similar applications, detect potential infringements at an early stage, and provide you with detailed reports.
Trademark Renewal and Transfer
In Turkey, the trademark registration period is 10 years from the application date. To maintain the protection of the trademark after this period, a renewal process is mandatory. If the renewal is not completed, the trademark's protection expires and it becomes available for use by others. We monitor your trademark renewal date in advance and ensure the process is carried out timely and accurately. Additionally, we support you in legal procedures such as trademark transfer and licensing agreements, helping you preserve the value of your trademark.
International Trademark Registration
In international commercial activities, protecting your brand in different countries is of great importance. International trademark registration can be carried out through the Madrid Protocol, WIPO, or by direct application in target countries. We determine the most suitable strategy based on the countries where your trademark needs to be registered and handle the application processes. Since each country has its own application and follow-up procedures, Kaizen Patent's expert team guides you through these processes to ensure your trademark is protected internationally.
