Trademark registration legally protects your business's name and logo. This process ensures your uniqueness by distinguishing your brand from competitors and provides legal defense. A registered trademark offers legal rights against counterfeiting attempts and helps protect your brand's reputation.
For patent registration, you must first verify that your invention is unique. Prepare the necessary documents and apply to TÜRKPATENT. Your application will be reviewed and then published in the official bulletin. Objections will be evaluated, and if the process concludes positively, your patent certificate will be issued.
Design registration protects the aesthetic and visual features of your products. This process legally safeguards your designs, preventing them from being copied and guaranteeing their originality. Registered designs provide a competitive advantage by maintaining your uniqueness in the market.
Geographical indication registration protects the quality and origin of products specific to a certain region. This process legally certifies the unique characteristics and quality of your product. For geographical indication registration, an application is made with documents proving the characteristics of the relevant region and that the product is unique to that area.
ISO certification demonstrates your business's compliance with international standards. This certificate defines and confirms your quality management and continuous improvement processes. The ISO certification process involves audit and evaluation stages, and businesses that meet the criteria are issued a certificate.
A patent is a legal document that grants the owner the right to use an invention for a specific period of time. The patent holder can prevent others from producing, selling, or using the invention without permission during this period. Patents encourage innovation and provide the necessary protection for inventors to invest in their ideas. This legal service is particularly important for the protection of technological innovations.
