Turkey Trademark Renewal FAQ's.
The requirement for an attorney depends on your residency status and how your trademark was originally registered.
Direct Renewals with TPTO: If you are domiciled outside the Republic of Türkiye and hold a national trademark registration directly with the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TPTO), representation by a certified trademark attorney authorized to act before the Office is mandatory. You cannot file a renewal request directly from abroad.
WIPO / International Registrations: If your trademark protection in Turkey was obtained via the Madrid System (WIPO), the renewal is typically managed centrally through WIPO without requiring a Turkish attorney for the payment itself. However, to ensure the renewal is correctly reflected in the Turkish local register, to handle any potential irregularities, or to update owner details (change of address/title) specifically within the Turkish database, Marqora highly recommends engaging an experienced local attorney. Our experts ensure full compliance with local regulations and prevent administrative errors that centralized systems might miss.
In Turkey, trademark registration is valid for 10 years from the date of application. The renewal process officially begins 6 months prior to the expiration date. We strongly advise initiating the renewal request as soon as this window opens to ensure a seamless extension of your rights without rushing or risking technical delays.
Yes, there is a safety net. If you miss the expiration date, the TPTO allows for a 6-month grace period following the expiration. However, filing for renewal during this grace period incurs an additional official surcharge (penalty fee) on top of the standard renewal fee. If you fail to renew within this 6-month grace period, your trademark rights will lapse, and the mark will become available for others to register.
No, the renewal process is strictly for extending the validity of the existing registration. You cannot make substantial changes to the trademark representation (logo/wordmark) or add new classes of goods and services during renewal.
Allowed Updates: You can update the owner’s name, address, or type of company (recordals) during this process.
Limitation: You may choose to renew only specific classes or goods/services, effectively limiting the scope of the trademark, but you cannot expand it.
The renewal process is generally faster and simpler than the initial registration. Once the application is filed and the official fees are paid, the TPTO typically processes and publishes the renewal within 1 to 3 months, provided there are no irregularities in the documentation.
A national trademark renewal in Turkey only extends your protection within the jurisdiction of the Republic of Türkiye. It does not automatically renew protection in other countries. If you have a bundle of national registrations in different countries, each must be renewed separately according to local laws. If you have an International Registration via WIPO designating Turkey, renewing the main WIPO registration covers Turkey as well.
For a smooth renewal process through Marqora, we typically require:
Power of Attorney (PoA): Simply signed by the authorized person (Notarization or Apostille is NOT required for renewals).
Registration Details: The trademark registration number and the current details of the owner.
Proof of Payment: Settlement of the service and government fees
