Trademark and patent applications are among the most crucial steps businesses must take to protect their intellectual property rights and gain a competitive advantage. Especially as of 2025, trademark and patent registration processes in Turkey and around the world have been further accelerated and digitized. In this article, we will delve into the trademark and patent application processes, the mission and vision of the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TÜRKPATENT), trademark classes, and more. If you are looking for a fast and reliable process for trademark or patent registration, you are in the right place!
A trademark application involves protecting elements such as names, logos, and slogans that a business uses to distinguish its products or services from others. A patent application, on the other hand, safeguards the commercial rights of a new invention or technological innovation. Both processes are critical for the long-term success of businesses.
In 2025, thanks to the digital application systems provided by TÜRKPATENT and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), trademark and patent registration processes have become faster and more transparent. These innovations offer significant time and cost advantages to applicants.
TÜRKPATENT is an institution that makes significant contributions to the development of Turkey's intellectual property ecosystem. Its vision is to play an effective role at both national and international levels in the field of industrial property. Its mission is to contribute to the protection and commercialization of industrial property rights in line with the National Technology Initiative.
The institution not only ensures the registration of intellectual property rights such as patents, trademarks, designs, and geographical indications but also conducts various training and awareness-raising activities to protect and promote these rights. Additionally, through international agreements and collaborations, it supports Turkey's role as a global player in the field of intellectual property.
One of the most important steps in the trademark registration process is selecting the correct class. Trademark classes are determined based on the type of products and services and consist of a total of 45 classes. Here are some of the most commonly preferred trademark classes:
Chemicals, fertilizers, and plastic products used in industry, agriculture, and science fall under this class.
Products such as soap, perfume, toothpaste, and cleaning agents are included in this category.
Veterinary products, disinfectants, and medical materials are registered in this class.
Computer software, electronic devices, and communication tools are protected under this class.
Marketing, advertising, and business management services are included in this category.
