Legal articles
The same articles as the Turkish library, written in English. Each one stays tied to a practice area. A translated article is the one to open. Where the English text is not published yet, the Turkish original remains the source.
- Where Is Patent Invalidity Asked For?
Patent invalidity is asked for from the court. The grounds are novelty, inventive step and ownership. A trademark pattern is not carried across.
- Is a Domain-Name Dispute a Trademark Action?
A domain-name complaint is not a trademark action. One door's period is not carried over. The registry procedure and the court petition are read apart.
- What Happens If a Trade Name and a Trademark Conflict?
A trade name names the merchant and a mark distinguishes goods. The same word does not merge two actions. The register entry and the certificate are read apart.
- How Is a Bad-Faith Trade-Mark Registration Discussed?
Bad faith is a discussion of purpose, apart from similarity. No year of non-use is written. An opposition and invalidity are not the same petition.
- What Happens If a Trademark Has More Than One Owner?
If several owners are on the register, one signature does not move the mark. The share is read from the contract and the register. No rate is invented.
- Does a Patent Licence Change the Right Holder?
A patent licence gives a right to use and does not change the owner. It is read apart from an assignment. The fee rate is not fixed in this note.
- How Is a Trade-Mark Licence Entered on the Register?
Entering a licence on the register carries the right of use against a third person. No register result is promised. The contract and the filing paper are read.
- How Is a Traditional Product Name Separated from a Geographical Indication?
A traditional product name is not a geographical indication, and a place link does not attach. No trademark class is written on this record. The file governs.
- How Is Registration of a Geographical Indication Separated from a Trademark?
A geographical indication defines the product by the region and a specification. It is not a Nice-class trademark. No examination day is fixed here.
- How Is a Trade-Mark Registration Renewed?
Trade-mark protection renews in ten-year terms. Renewal is read apart from a new filing. This petition does not build the class list. The register is the basis.
- How Is the Term of Design Protection Renewed?
Design protection lasts five years, renews by five, and does not pass twenty-five. No extra year is written. The certificate and the renewal petition are read.
- How a Utility Model Is Separated from a Patent
A utility model is a document apart from a patent, and post-grant opposition is closed. The two are not one term. The register entry is what counts.
- When Does the Patent Term of Protection End?
Patent protection runs for twenty years from the filing date and is not extended. Trademark renewal is not carried onto this certificate. The register controls.
- How Is Cancellation of an Unused Trade Mark Asked For?
Cancellation for five years of non-use is asked of the Office and is not invalidity. The reply is one month and may extend by one month. No new year is added.
- Who Owns a Work Produced in Employment?
On a work made in employment, the economic right can stay with the employer if nothing says otherwise. No share is written. The moral right is kept apart.
- How Are an Assignment and a Licence of a Trade Mark Separated?
An assignment changes the owner. A licence gives a right to use. The register carries effect against a third person. The two are not joined in one signature.
- How Is Design Infringement Understood?
Design infringement looks at the overall impression. The year of protection is read from the file. The registration visual and the document stand together.
- What Is Done in a Case of Patent Infringement?
Patent infringement is unauthorised use of the solution the claims protect. Protection runs twenty years from filing. No new year is added to the record.
- An Action to Annul a YİDK Decision
A YIDK decision is the Office's final decision. The time limit runs from notice. Article 156/2 is a venue rule. The period is not written into that article.
- How Is an Action for Invalidity of a Trade Mark Brought?
Invalidity is asked in court on grounds of refusal. No usurpation time is added. Five years of non-use is cancellation, not invalidity. The file is the basis.
