How does Trademark Registration work?
1. Comprehensive international trademark search
With a trademark search, you can ensure that your EU trademark does not conflict with other trademarks before filing – and thus prevent competitors from filing oppositions against your trademark application or claiming damages from you for infringement of trademark rights.
2. Application
You can apply online and in all official languages of the EU. In addition to information on the individual or company, it must contain a description or illustration of the EU trademark as well as all goods and services.
3. Examination Phase
EUIPO asks you to pay the application fees. Only after payment of the official fees does the Office check the trademark for possible grounds for refusal. If the EUIPO finds grounds for refusal around the trademark registration, you will receive official notification and have 2 months to correct any errors.
4. Publication
EUIPO asks you to pay the application fees. Only after payment of the official fees does the Office check the trademark for possible grounds for refusal. If the EUIPO finds grounds for refusal around the trademark registration, you will receive official notification and have 2 months to correct any errors.

Who can apply for an EU trademark?
- In principle, any person but also companies may register an EU trademark with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) who has a place of business or residence in a member country of the EU. Anyone who does not live in a member country of the EU must also appoint a legal representative in the EU.
Do I need an EU trademark or is a local trademark sufficient?
- If you want to expand your business throughout Europe, it is worthwhile to apply for an EU trademark - if it has a chance of success. The all-or-nothing principle applies: The European trademark must not fail or be unprotectable in any EU country due to older trademark rights. If, for example, your slogan or logo can be translated into a descriptive adjective in the local language of an EU country, the trademark may violate absolute grounds for refusal. The EUIPO can then refuse registration of the EU trademark with the corresponding effect for the entire EU.
What rights do I have with an EU trademark?
- A registered EU trademark gives you the exclusive right of use. If someone uses your European trademark for commercial purposes without permission or applies for an identical or similar trademark, the following options are available to you in the event of such a trademark infringement: Opposition to reapplication, cease-and-desist letter, legal action..

Decree-Law No. 556 of 1995 protects trademarks owned by natural or legal persons in Turkey. Intellectual property rights are held by both individuals who live in Turkey or have a corporation incorporated here, as well as entities that benefit from rights under the Paris or Bern Conventions. Natural persons or corporations incorporated in other countries that protect Turkish citizens are also beneficiaries of these rights.
