Why is Trademark Monitoring Essential in Turkey?​

Registering your trademark is only the first step. The Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TPTO) does not automatically refuse new applications that are similar to yours. They rely on you to object.

If a similar mark is published in the Official Bulletin and you miss the 2-month opposition deadline, that mark becomes registered. Canceling it afterwards requires a lengthy and expensive court lawsuit. Monitoring is your early warning system that keeps you out of court and in control.

Trademark Monitoring FAQ's

Does the Turkish Patent Office notify me if someone files a similar trademark?

No. The TPTO examines applications on absolute grounds but often leaves relative grounds (similarity to prior marks) to be policed by the trademark owners during the publication period.

What is the deadline to object to a similar trademark?

You have exactly 2 months from the publication date of the confusingly similar trademark in the Official Bulletin to file an opposition. If this window is missed, the mark proceeds to registration.

What happens if your monitoring service finds a conflict?

We will send you an “Alert Report” containing the details of the conflicting application, our legal opinion on the likelihood of confusion, and a quote for filing an official opposition.

Does the $450 fee include the cost of filing an Opposition?

No. The monitoring fee covers the surveillance, analysis, and reporting of threats. If legal action (Opposition) is required to stop a detected mark, that is a separate legal service.

Can I monitor a trademark I haven't registered yet?

While possible to monitor competitors, monitoring is most effective for protecting rights you already have or have applied for. We recommend filing your application first to have legal standing for oppositions.

Is the monitoring automated or human-reviewed?

It is a hybrid approach. We use advanced software to scan thousands of applications, but every potential match is reviewed by a MARQORA IP attorney to ensure you only receive relevant alerts, not false alarms.
