Trademark Application in Turkey
Trademark Watch Service in Türkiye
A trademark watch monitors new applications published in the TÜRKPATENT Official Trademark Bulletin and alerts you to marks similar to yours in time to oppose within the two-month deadline. We review the hits, filter out the irrelevant ones and recommend action only where there is a real conflict.
At a glance
- Who it is for
- Owners of registered or pending marks in Türkiye, Turkish and foreign.

How it works
Set-up
We record your marks, classes and the variations to watch for.
Monitoring
Each bulletin is checked for identical and similar marks in relevant classes.
Screened alerts
You receive only the relevant hits, with our assessment and the deadline.
Action
If you decide to act, we file the opposition or contact the applicant.
Why a watch matters
Apart from identical or indistinguishably similar marks for the same kind of goods, TÜRKPATENT does not refuse conflicting marks on its own; it relies on right holders to oppose within two months of publication. Without a watch, conflicting marks can be registered and later need invalidity actions in court, which take longer and are conducted by lawyers.
What we watch
- Identical and similar word marks, including transliterations
- Similar logos and figurative elements
- Related classes where confusion is likely
What you receive
For each relevant hit: the published mark, its applicant and classes, our short assessment of the risk and the last day to oppose. Clearly irrelevant hits are filtered out, so the alerts stay readable.
Beyond the bulletin
On request we also watch company names in the trade registry and new domain names for your brand, which often reveal an infringer before a trademark application does.
Documents checklist
- A list of your marks (numbers or images)
- The classes and goods and services to watch
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a watch if my mark is registered?
Yes. Registration does not stop others from filing similar marks; the watch is how you learn about them in time to oppose.
Can you watch international registrations designating Türkiye?
Yes. Madrid designations of Türkiye are also published and can be opposed in the same way.
