In short
A traditional product name is a product name that does not fall within the definition of a geographical indication and that is used traditionally. The question of how a traditional product name is separated from a geographical indication takes the link to a place out of being a condition for establishing this name. The link to a place in a designation of origin, or in an indication of source, does not stick here. The name is not an undertaking's trademark either. The difference read from the sign is in the text of the definition.
A link to a place is not a condition of establishment
In a geographical indication, the product is associated with a particular geography and with the quality, reputation, or characteristic that geography contributes. What is looked at in a traditional product name is the traditional use of the name. Production is not necessarily confined to the boundary of a single province. The name of a place is not the compulsory root of this record. A designation of origin and an indication of source are types of geographical indication. A traditional product name is not an abbreviation of those two types.
The two records are not built on the same specification. The sentence about place in the specification of a geographical indication is not copied of itself into the file of the traditional name. Which name is requested in the application is read from the heading of the papers. If the heading says designation of origin, a traditional name is not written; if it says traditional name, designation of origin is not written. The decision is built according to that heading as well. If there is no text of the definition, the name is not announced as protected.
An old recipe is not registration on its own
This distinction does not turn every old recipe into a registered name. The period required for the name to count as traditional is not a figure here. The name is not announced as protected without the use in the file being recounted. A habit in the kitchen is not a registration decision. A number of years is not invented. How use is shown is read from the document and the account in the file. Even if the recipe is said to be old, no record is born while there is no document.
Without a registration decision, the name is not put on the market as protected. The application petition does not stand in for the decision. Before the examination ends, the name is not treated as registered. The inspection fee and the day of the examination are not written. A fee tariff does not stand in for the text of the definition. That a fee has been paid does not mean the definition has been filled in.
Trademark exclusivity does not arise from this record
A trademark a company puts on its product is not the registration of a traditional name. Registration of a traditional product name does not give that company trademark exclusivity either. The two records may stand side by side. One is not written in place of the other. The class list of the trademark does not stick of itself to the definition of the traditional name. The traditional name does not close, like an undertaking's trademark, onto a single company.
A number of years is not pasted onto an old recipe. The office in Çankaya does not choose the registration authority or the competent court. The district of the office does not produce a period for the name to count as traditional either. The competent place is read from the record's own rule. The name of a district does not stand in for the condition of origin.
An inspection fee does not stand in for the definition
Use that does not match the definition does not become free because the name was registered. Registration does not of itself justify use outside the definition. The inspection fee does not draw this boundary. The amount of the fee is not here. The day of the examination is not written either. What is read is the definition of the name and the account of use in the file.
Imitation of a geographical indication is a distortion of the link to a place. The dispute over a traditional name is not a copy of that imitation pattern. If the two files are mixed, which record was requested is separated first. A trademark registration certificate is not the specification of this name either. A company name does not, on its own, register the traditional name.
The heading of the application shows whether it is a designation of origin or a traditional name. If the heading is silent, one of the two records is not announced in place of the other. An old recipe does not become a protected name without a decision.
How two records are read side by side
Two records may stand on the same shelf. The condition of origin is not pasted onto the traditional name. A trademark class is not treated as the form of this record either. A period and a fee are not invented. The district of the office does not choose the competent place.
Conclusion
A traditional product name is not a geographical indication. A designation of origin and an indication of source do not stick to this name. Its frame is the geographical indication; the imitation dispute is in the article on imitation of a geographical indication. The trademark steps are under trademark registration, and the certificate is under registration certificate. The general frame is on the intellectual property page. The basis is the relevant provisions of the Industrial Property Law No. 6769. If there is no text of the definition, the name is not treated as protected.
