Trademark and patent applications are among the most crucial steps businesses must take to protect their intellectual property rights and gain a competitive advantage.

The trademark registration process involves protecting the elements such as names, logos, and slogans that a business uses to distinguish its products or services from others. This process prevents others from using your trademark and secures your commercial reputation.
When applying for trademark registration, you first need to determine under which classes your trademark will be protected. There are a total of 45 different trademark classes. For example, a company producing chemical products can apply under Class 1, while a company producing food products can apply under Class 29 or 30.

A patent application is the official process to protect a new invention or technological development. Patent registration prevents your invention from being copied by others and increases its commercial value.
As of 2025, the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TÜRKPATENT) evaluates patent applications more quickly and speeds up the registration processes. This allows your innovative ideas to be protected in a shorter time.
