Administrative Trademark Cancellation Actions would finally be processed
Trademark cancellation actions were exclusively court actions in Turkiye until 10 January 2024, which is when Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (“Turkish PTO”) has become the sole authority to process trademark cancellation actions.
Despite more than one year has passed since 10 January 2024, Turkish PTO has not been able to process any trademark cancellation actions, due to the lack of Implementing Regulation and lack of other groundworks, even though the PTO accepts requests and official fees for trademark cancellation actions for over a year.
The required Implementing Regulation for trademark cancellation actions has gone into effect on 15 March 2025, in a form as amendments of / additions to several provisions to Implementing Regulation to Turkish IP Law. This development appears to have completed all groundworks for administrative processing of trademark cancellation actions.
Turkish PTO is now under heavy workload of trademark cancellation actions due to piling up such actions for over a year.
Official payment required for a trademark cancellation action consists of two separate items, one is official fee [28,150.00 Turkish Liras, which is around 770.00 USD], and the other is security deposit [23,458.33 Turkish Liras, which is around 643.00 USD]. Security deposit will be paid to fully successful parti upon request. If no party is fully successful, security deposit will remain to Turkish PTO.

Official Fees Increased
The Turkish Patent Office has unexpectedly announced a new increase in the official fees as of April 24, 2024 for trademarks, patents, designs etc. Usually all the increases are announced at the beginning of each year. Because of the change of the Chairman of the Office and internal amendments, only inflation rates were reflected to the official fees at the beginning of the new year. Now, the final official fees were announced.
As an important update, new items in the official fees have been introduced, namely;
- Trademark Cancellation Fee: TRY 19,600.00
- Fee for Accelerated Search in Patent Applications: TRY 5,770.00
The Trademark Cancellation Fee was introduced because of the new practice for institutional cancellation of trademarks based on non-use. TURKPATENT is now expected to handle those cases in accordance with Art. 26 of IP Law No 6769.
Some other important trademark fees are summarized below:
- Application in one class: 1,630 TRY
- Additional class: 1,630 TRY
- Each additional class (3rd and subsequent classes): 1,810 TRY
- Fee for grant: 4,020 TRY
- Renewal of a trademark: 5,010 TRY
- Opposition: 1,510
A complete list of the official fees can be found on the website of TURKPATENT.

Nov 29, 2023 (Newsletter Issue 10/23)Patent Office to Take Lead in Trademark CancellationsLaw No. 6769 on Industrial Property (“IP Law”) was published in the Official Gazette on January 10, 2017, and the majority of its provisions came into effect on the same date. However, Article 26 of the IP Law, titled "Cancellation Cases and Cancellation Request," was scheduled to come into effect seven years after the publication of the law. Decisions regarding the cancellation of registered trademarks will be made by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (“TPTO”) starting from January 10, 2024. Turkish Patent and Trademark Office released a draft regulation on October 20, 2023, regarding the implementation of the cancellation system. The public consultation period for this draft has ended. The aim of this regulation is to align with EU Directive No. 2015/2436 of the European Parliament and EU Regulation No. 2015/2424 of the European Parliament. The amendment is expected to make the trademark cancellation process easier, faster, and more cost-effective.

Trademark Examination Guidelines Extended
The Turkish Patent and Trademark Office has added a new chapter to the guidelines on examination standards for trademark applications. The new chapter concerns the substantive examination standards for the assessment of confusing similarity.
The new chapter covers the topics below:
- the concept of ‘likelihood of confusion’;
- the similarity of goods and services taking into account the role of the Nice Classification;
- the relevant consumers and their level of attention;
- the distinctiveness of the prior trademark;
- the comparison of the signs from an aural, visual and conceptual point of view;
- all the factors to be taken into account in determining the likelihood of confusion (i.e., the similarity of goods/services, the relevant consumers and their attention level, the distinctiveness of the prior trademark and the comparison of the signs); and
- frequently arising situations when assessing the likelihood of confusion between certain types of mark (e.g., names and surnames, house marks, pharmaceutical marks, slogan marks, one-letter marks, two or three-letter marks, colour marks and three-dimensional marks).
The guidelines now consist of 681 pages and include several examples of decisions from the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office, Re-examination and Evaluation Board and courts, as well as decisions from the European Union Intellectual Property Office and Court of Justice of the European Union.

Nov 19, 2019 (Newsletter Issue 16/19)New Trademark Examination GuidelineOn September 30, 2019, the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office published a new Trademark Examination Guideline that defines the criteria regarding the examination of trademark applications on absolute grounds within the scope of the Industrial Property Code that came into force in 2017.
The main purpose of the Guideline is to update the previous guideline, which was in force since 2011. The new Guideline clarifies the principles of absolute grounds for refusal that are explained in the IP Code and provide consistency in the Office’s decisions.
Within this context, the absolute grounds for refusal that are included between the articles 5(1)(a) and 5(1)(i) of the Law are examined in 12 main sections. The Guideline consists of 379 pages and includes a great number of examples in detail. The examples are given by taking the decisions of the Courts and the Office and also the recent EU developments into consideration.

The requirement of notarised signature declarations for natural persons and notarised signature circulars for legal persons has been abolished for a number of procedures, in particular for withdrawals. This is the case for example, when
- renewal requests are submitted
- trademark and design applications prior to registration are withdrawn
- trademark or design rights after registration are waived
- oppositions before the Patent and Trademark Office are withdrawn
- appeals against the Patent and Trademark Office’s decisions are withdrawn
As a result of the amendments, rights holders and the Patent and Trademark Office now have significantly less paperwork to fill out in most procedures, which should accelerate prcedures under the IP Code.

Article 4 of the TCC includes disputes arising from intellectual property related matters among commercial disputes. Therefore, in principle, IP-related disputes shall also be subject to the mandatory mediation procedure provided that they involve a monetary claim (payment of a debt or compensation). Lawsuits for the nullity or cancellation of an IP right, or a mere request for the termination of infringement shall not be subject to mandatory mediation. Also, disputes such as oppositions to third party applications or to decisions of the Office are not subject to any mandatory mediation procedures.

If the opponent does not prove its use, the opposition will not be accepted.
Türkpatent has now published guidelines for such proof of use in opposition proceedings assisting both the applicants who shall claim proof of use and the opponents who shall present evidence of use in oppositions proceedings.
The Guideline states that within a one month time frame, the applicant can not only submit his counter arguments but with the same form can also ask the opponent to prove use of the mark upon which the opposition is based. Or alternatively, should the applicant not submit any counter arguments, evidence of such use can be requested by a letter to Türkpatent using the wording provided in the Guideline.

Jan 10, 2017 (Newsletter Issue 1/17)Temporary Gap in the LawCurrently there is a temporary gap in the law with respect to non-use cancellation filings of trademarks in Turkey as the Constitutional Court has ruled that Article 14, which regulates use requirements of trademarks, of Turkish Trademark Law, Decree Law no. 556, is unconstitutional because it violated Article 91/1 of the Turkish Constitution. The ruling has been published in Official Gazette and went into effect as of January 6, 2017.
Article 91/1 of the Turkish Constitution regulates that basic rights, including right of ownership, cannot be regulated / limited by Decree Laws. Turkish Trademark Law, Decree Law no. 556, is a Decree Law which was passed by cabinet not by parliament.
However, the Turkish Parliament has already passed a new Industrial Property Law, on December 22, 2016, which will go into force with its publication in Official Gazette. The new law covers trademarks, patents, industrial designs, and will replace the current decree laws regulating these fields. By this, non-use cancellation action will be possible once the new law goes into effect.
The full text of the decision issued by Constitutional Court is available in Turkish on the website of Official Gazette here. The new law, Industrial Property Law, is available in Turkish on the website of Turkish Parliament here.
