The trademark registration process is not as complicated as you might think. In fact, with a bit of patience and the right guidance, protecting your brand is quite straightforward. Especially considering the changes and updates in trademark registration for 2025, understanding this process has become even more important. So, where should you start? Here’s a step-by-step guide to trademark registration and everything you need to know about the fees.
First, let’s start by understanding what trademark registration is. Trademark registration is the official protection of elements such as your product or service name, logo, slogan, etc., that distinguish your brand from others. In other words, you’re obtaining a kind of "guarantee" to ensure that no one copies or uses your brand without permission. As TÜRKPATENT points out, trademark registration is one of the most effective ways to protect the commercial value of your brand.
The trademark registration process actually consists of a few basic steps. First, you need to check whether your trademark has already been registered. You can use TÜRKPATENT's database for this. In other words, it’s a system where you can check if your trademark has been registered before. If your trademark is unique, you can move on to the next step.
One of the most important steps in trademark registration is determining which class your trademark belongs to. There are a total of 45 trademark classes, and each class covers different products or services. For example, Class 1 is related to chemical products, while Class 25 covers protective clothing. Correctly identifying these classes also affects the scope of protection for your trademark. You might want to read our comprehensive guide on this topic: Trademark Classes Guide.
After determining the trademark class, you need to prepare the application file. This file includes details such as your trademark’s logo, name, slogan, etc. Additionally, you need to specify which products or services the trademark will be used for. At this stage, you should be careful not to provide incomplete or incorrect information.
Once you’ve prepared the application file, you need to submit it to TÜRKPATENT. At this stage, it’s important to track whether your application has been accepted. If your application is approved, your trademark will be officially registered. However, if there’s an objection, you may need to take additional steps to resolve it.
Trademark registration fees vary depending on how many classes your trademark is registered under and the details of your application. According to this year’s data, the fees are quite reasonable. However, those who want detailed information can reach us at +902129175946.
There are a few important points to consider during the trademark registration process. First, your trademark must be unique. In other words, it should not resemble a previously registered trademark. Additionally, correctly determining which class your trademark falls under is also crucial. Choosing the wrong class can narrow the scope of protection for your trademark.
The trademark registration process is one of the most effective ways to protect the commercial value of your brand. Especially with the updates made to trademark registration in 2025, managing this process correctly has become even more important.
