In short
The protection of a registered trade mark is ten years from the application date. The term is renewed in periods of ten years each. Renewal carries the existing record on the register into a new period. How the first filing is opened is not explained here. The question of how a trade-mark registration is renewed is the carrying of the same record into a new period. The class list is not built by this petition.
The same record, a new period
The renewal petition does not build the specimen of the mark and the list of goods from the start. If the sign is to change, or new classes are to be added, this does not happen with the renewal sentence. That need is a separate filing question. The application date is the root of the record in the renewed ten years as well. The first notice in the bulletin does not start the term from the newspaper day. The number that appears on the register does not turn into a new mark number by renewal.
The mark number written in the petition should be the same as the number on the register. If the number is wrong, the transaction is not treated as having renewed another record. A representative's signature does not change the owner's name. The owner line is read separately. If there is more than one owner, the signature comes out of the contract between them and the register. A missing signature is not treated as having extended the term on its own.
A missed period does not fill itself
When the ten years end, protection does not continue for one more period without renewal. Which intermediate day the application is made on is not a figure here. The window is read by looking at the end of the file and the legislation. The number of days is not frozen. The missed window is spoken of by placing the date of the petition next to the end on the register. While there is no date, it is not said that the term has expired or has not.
Cancellation for non-use does not stand in for renewal. Cancellation is a reason of non-use. Renewal is a reason of term. Because one was done, the other does not close on its own. The two forms do not go into the same envelope. A cancellation request is not an annex of the renewal petition. A document of use does not widen the class list either.
The set of documents and the class list
In the renewal file, a register printout, the petition, and a document that the fee or charge was paid are looked for. The amount of the charge is not written here. While the document is missing, payment is not treated as made. The class list is compared with the list that stands on the register. Adding a new good to the list is not the work of the renewal sentence. A separate filing is considered for a new good.
Service goes to the address on the register, or to the representative. Service going to the representative does not make the mark the representative's property. If the address has stayed old, the notice can be completed at that address. The address record does not stand in for renewal. The decision or the writing is kept together with the register number.
Use before renewal was made does not itself open the new period. Use can show that the mark stood in the market. The term, on the other hand, is extended by the petition and the register record. If the two are mixed, the right holder takes being in use for renewal. Taking it so does not change the end date. The end is the end of the ten-year period from the application date. Renewal in periods of ten years each does not erase this root date. Writing another start in the petition does not stand in for the root on the register. The payment document and the petition date also stand in the same file. If the document date is detached from the end on the register, the detachment is written. The detachment is not closed here with a number of days.
What is looked at in renewal
Renewal is not a new registration filing. The end on the register and the mark number in the petition are placed side by side. That the office is in Çankaya does not change the Office's authority. The term is read from the application date. The office address does not choose the ten-year period.
In practice this note follows this order. First it reads that protection on the register lasts ten years from the application date, and that renewal is asked for in a period of ten years. Then it looks at whether the petition wrote the class list from the start. If the list has widened, it does not treat this as renewal. Then, without turning the missed intermediate day into a figure here, it asks from the file for the end record and the petition date.
A claim of non-use is also read apart from renewal. Cancellation does not stand in for an extension of the term. The representative line does not erase the owner line. The set of documents is built from the register printout, the petition, and the payment record. While the document is missing, a new period is not treated as opened.
Conclusion
A trade mark lasts ten years and is renewed in periods of ten years each. Renewal is not a new registration filing. Adding a class is not the work of this petition. If there is no register record, which period continues is not known. The frame is on the intellectual property page. The first record is trade-mark registration, non-use is cancellation, and the notice is the bulletin. They stand apart. The official basis is Article 23 of Law No. 6769.
