In short
When a dealership ends, use of the trademark is not treated as lawful or forbidden of itself on the last day of the contract. The right holder reads the end date, a photograph of the sign and whether the account still carries the trademark, side by side. Exceeding a territory or product limit while the contract is still running is not the subject of this article. If the permission text has ended, the use is read separately.
The day after the end
A dealership or franchise text may write on which date the contract will end and when the sign will be taken down. If it does not write that, continuing the use does not give rise to a right with the sentence "we have been here for years". If the date of the photograph is after the contract date, the act is after the end. If the photograph has no date, the day of the act is built from another document. If it cannot be built, a date is not invented.
The contract may have permitted use for a further period. If there is no permission clause, the end does not of itself justify the use. If there is a permission clause, its duration and which surfaces it covers are read. Permission for the sign is not permission for a social account. Each surface is read from its own clause. If there is no clause, that surface does not stay open by old habit.
The sign, the bag and the account
The sign, the bag, the vehicle wrap and the username can carry the same trademark. One may have come down and another may still stand. They are not squeezed into a single photograph. A separate image and a separate date are looked for for each surface. If the date is before the end, that image does not show use after the end. A post after the end is not added to the back of an old photograph.
If a photocopy of the authority document stands on the wall, its date is looked at. A document whose term has expired is not a new licence contract. Whether the document was entered on the register is also asked separately. A licence appearing on the register does not of itself extend the use after the contract has ended. If the register entry and the contract date conflict, the two are read side by side. The conflict is not closed in favour of the sign.
A former account is not a fake account
An account that never had authority imitating the trademark is different from a former dealer's account. The former dealer's account was genuine for a time. The distinction is the date the authority ended. Even if the account's opening date is before the end, today's post is read separately. If the post carries the trademark and a promise of sale, this does not stay behind the opening date. The username containing the trademark does not by itself narrate every post after the end. The content of the post is read too.
A former dealer selling imitation goods in an advertisement is a record separate from whether the sign came down. A photograph of the goods is evidence other than the trademark remaining on the sign. If there are two pieces of evidence, both stand in the file. One is not ignored while the other is absent. How damages are discussed is not in this article as a rate. The rate is built from the judgment and the document.
While the contract is on foot it is another article
If the contract has not yet ended, exceeding a territory or product limit is not the question of the sign after the end. If a notice of termination has been sent but the period has not run out, which day will be taken as the basis is read from the notice. This article does not freeze that day as a number. The contract is not treated as ended when there is no notice. A termination writing and the sentence that the term has expired are not mixed up.
If the dealer uses their own trademark after the end, this is separate from the old trademark remaining on the sign. Their own trademark does not mean the licence continues. If the old trademark and the new trademark stand on the same sign, the two are written separately. A mixed sign is not read as the permission continuing. The reading is in the photograph and the contract date.
The limit while the contract is on foot is in the licence field, and the register of the licence is in the article on trademark assignment and licence. An account with no authority at all is in a fake account, imitation goods in an advertisement are in a social advertisement, and the discussion of damages is in the article on trademark infringement.
The end date and the sign
The end record of the dealership contract, a photograph of the sign and the account's current post are placed side by side. The office being in Çankaya does not change the court that will hear the trademark dispute. The competent authority is read from the registration certificate and from the place the service went.
Conclusion
At the end of a dealership, the place looked at is on which day the permission ended and on which surface the trademark remained. An old sign does not give rise to a right without a term. The framework is on the intellectual property page.
The basis is Industrial Property Code No. 6769.
