Design Application and Registration Process
A design refers to the appearance of the whole or a part of a product, or the ornamentation on it, arising from features such as lines, shapes, forms, colors, materials, or surface textures. Protecting your design is the most critical step to securing your efforts and turning them into commercial success. Kaizen Patent provides comprehensive services for all design processes before the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office to safeguard your innovative designs.
Design Preliminary Research and Reporting
Designs with novelty and distinctive character can be protected through registration. Before a design registration application, we conduct preliminary research to determine whether the design meets the registration criteria. This research is crucial to avoid time and cost losses and minimize legal risks during the registration process. The findings from the research are presented in a detailed report, providing our clients with the necessary guidance on the steps to be followed during the registration process.
Design Monitoring
Ürün tasarımının önemini anlıyoruz ve bu konuda başvuru yapılmış ve yayınlanmış tasarımları takip ederek raporlama hizmeti sunuyoruz. Tasarım izleme hizmeti ile tasarımınıza benzer olabilecek başvurular, benzer faaliyet alanına sahip firmaların başvuruları vb. hızlı bir şekilde tespit edilmektedir. Böylece hem sektörel gelişmeler hakkında bilgi sağlanmakta hem de tescil öncesi gerekli itiraz işlemleri gerçekleştirilerek daha sonra oluşacak hukuki süreç ve maliyetlerin önüne geçilmektedir.
Design Monitoring
A registered design is protected for five years from the application date and can be renewed in five-year increments, extending up to a total of twenty-five years. Kaizen Patent carefully monitors renewal dates. When we file a design registration application on your behalf, we track all processes and notify you as the renewal date approaches.
International Design Registration
We manage our clients' international design applications and design processes under the Hague System (WIPO). With our global network of representatives, we can apply to registration authorities worldwide to provide design protection tailored to your needs and manage all processes efficiently.
Design Legal Consultancy
In addition to the support provided during the design registration process, Kaizen Patent also offers services for legal matters that may arise post-registration. We stand by your side in legal processes in case of design rights infringements and assist in developing defense strategies against infringement claims from third parties. Furthermore, we provide support in registry procedures such as licensing, transfer, and changes in address and title.
