Trademark

• A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol or design, or a combination of words, phrases, symbols or designs, that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods of one party from those of others.
• A service mark is the same as a trademark, except that it identifies and distinguishes the source of a service rather than a product. Throughout this booklet, the terms "trademark" and "mark" refer to both trademarks and service marks.
The new Turkish trademark system is reorganized by the decree law no : 551, which brought the following modern provisions;
- Registered trademark protection system
- Protection of service marks
- Protection of guarantee and collective marks
- Registration after examination and opposition.
Term of protection is 10 years and can be extended by unlimited number of renewals.
