Intellectual Property Rights
"How are intellectual property rights protected in Turkey?"
Quick Answer
Turkey's IP Law No. 6769 provides comprehensive protection for trademarks, patents, designs, and geographical indications aligned with EU standards.
Scope and Legal Distinctions
Identify the right before choosing protection: patents, trademarks and designs follow a different framework from copyright and trade secrets. Foreign registration alone may not protect every right in Türkiye.
What to Check in Practice
Map ownership, assignments, licences, territory and evidence of creation or use; choose registration and enforcement steps for the particular right.
