Let’s dive in!
First things first, before starting the trademark registration process, you need to check whether your trademark has already been registered. You can do this by using TÜRKPATENT’s database. This step saves both time and effort because if your trademark has already been registered, there’s no point in continuing the application process.
Once you’re sure your trademark is unique, the next step is to determine the trademark class. Trademark classes consist of 45 different categories. For example, if you’re a company producing chemical products, you fall under Class 1. If you produce food products, you’ll need to look at Classes 29 or 30. These classes determine the sector in which your trademark operates, and selecting the right class is crucial during the application process.
When applying for a trademark, you can start by submitting an online application through TÜRKPATENT’s official website. During this process, you’ll need to enter details such as your trademark’s logo, name, and the classes you’ve selected. You can also specify the geographical scope of protection you want for your trademark. For example, do you want protection only in Turkey or internationally? This decision can also affect the application fees.
After submitting your application, TÜRKPATENT will review your trademark. During this review, they’ll evaluate criteria such as whether your trademark resembles another and whether it’s eligible for registration. If no issues arise, your trademark will be officially registered, and you’ll receive a registration certificate.

Choosing the right trademark class is particularly important. For example, if you’re a food producer, you’ll need to select Classes 29 or 30. But if you’re a technology company, Class 9 might be more suitable. These details are critical for the future of your trademark.
There are a few important points to keep in mind during the trademark registration process. First, your trademark’s name and logo should be unique enough not to be confused with another brand. Additionally, to ensure your trademark is registrable, avoid using generic terms or industry jargon. For example, a name like “Best Coffee” might not be eligible for registration.
Another important point is the duration of trademark protection. A trademark registration certificate is valid for 10 years. After this period, you’ll need to renew it. If you don’t renew, your trademark’s protection will expire, and it could be used by others.
