Trademark Protection in Turkey
Registering your trademark in Turkey, trademark register provides protection in Turkey. When you created your distinguishing mark and selected the classes of goods and services, your intention was to provide the most comprehensive protection possible for your trademark. You can now extend the scope of that protection to other countries as well using one of three options:
Filing directly in other countries
You can apply directly for trademark registration in other countries just as you did in Turkey. In most countries, filing is open to foreigners. Bear in mind, however, that all correspondence will be in the national language of that country, and that you must often appoint a local representative. Information can be found on the home pages of the national trademark offices.
Filing regionally
Filing at regional trademark offices, such as the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market , you can protect your trademark in all the countries belonging to that region. For example, filing at the OHIM gives you protection in all EU Member States simultaneously.
Registering internationally under the madrid system
Two international treaties, the Madrid Agreement and the Madrid Protocol, and the corresponding Regulations for Common Execution of these two treaties (the Regulations) make up a system of protection for trademarks referred to as the Madrid System. This system is administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in Geneva.
The objective of these agreements is to simplify the administrative procedures for extending trademark protection within Contracting Parties using a system of centralized notification. Through this system, a trademark owner can apply for protection for his trademark in designated Contracting Parties by submitting a single application, using one language for correspondence, with a single payment in Swiss francs. Every designated Contracting Party then examines the mark according to its own national regulations. Thus, protection is not automatically granted, but if it is granted, it is the same as if an application had been made separately at each national office.
