PTO Announced Reforms


The Turkish Patent Institute (PTO) announced that they undertake significant reforms.

The overall process for trademarks, patents and industrial designs will be shortened, and the certificates of registration for trademarks will be issued online. Notifications to be issued by the Patent Institute will be sent online, and all petitions of opposition, response and appeal will be also filed online.
The process of trademark registration will be shortened to be seven months instead of 12 months.

In addition, the Registry is planning to publish trademark applications on a daily basis as applied by the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM) rather than publishing monthly trademark bulletins.
