Brand registration is like a "passport" in the business world. It protects your brand, prevents others from using your hard work, and even increases the value of your brand. So, how does this process work? Let's talk about it as if we're having a chat over a coffee break.
Brand registration is the process of protecting the elements that a business uses to distinguish its products or services from others, such as names, logos, and slogans. As TÜRKPATENT states, brand registration is not just about registering a name; it's also about securing the future of your brand.
For example, imagine you've worked hard for years to build a brand. One day, someone starts using the same name. What would you do? This is where brand registration comes into play. A registered brand protects you from such risks and ensures the preservation of your brand's value.
The brand registration process is essentially a journey consisting of several steps. The first step is to check whether your brand is eligible for registration. In other words, is there a possibility of it being confused with another brand? At this point, TÜRKPATENT's list of trademark classes comes into play. There are a total of 45 classes, and each class covers different products or services. For example, Class 1 covers chemicals, while Class 25 covers clothing items. Which class does your brand fall into? Determining this is one of the most important steps in the process.
Next, the brand application is made. At this stage, the necessary documents for the official registration of your brand are prepared and submitted to TÜRKPATENT. If your application is accepted, your brand is published in the official bulletin. This is a process where it is determined whether there will be any objections to your brand. If there are no objections, your brand is registered and protected.
There are a few important points to consider during the brand registration process. First, your brand must be unique. That is, there should be no possibility of it being confused with another brand. Additionally, to ensure your brand is eligible for registration, you should avoid using generic terms or purely descriptive expressions. For example, a brand name like "Best Coffee" would be difficult to register.
Another important point is the international protection of your brand. If you want to protect your brand abroad, you can take advantage of international agreements such as the Madrid Protocol. Those who want more detailed information on this topic can contact us.
