Extension of Design Protection in Turkey – Legal Security and Professional Support
Extending the protection of a registered design in Turkey is a crucial step to safeguard your creative works against imitation and unauthorized use. Timely submission of an extension application ensures the continuity of your design rights and secures your investments in the long term. Our law firm provides comprehensive support for the timely and correct extension of your intellectual property rights, allowing you to focus on your business goals.
Maximum Protection Period and Extension Options
In Turkey, the initial protection period of a registered design is 5 years from the date of filing. This protection period can be extended by an additional 5 years per extension application, up to a maximum protection period of 25 years. It is essential to meet all legal requirements for each extension to prevent the loss of design protection.
Requirements for the Extension
To successfully extend your design protection in Turkey, the following requirements must be met:
- Timely Submission: The extension application must be filed with the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TürkPatent) before the current protection period expires. As the office does not send binding reminders, reliable deadline management is critical.
- Payment of Extension Fees: Official fees must be paid in full and on time. Delays can lead to additional costs and, in severe cases, the expiration of protection.
- Grace Period: If the extension is not applied for on time, a grace period of 6 months is available. During this period, the extension can still be applied for, subject to a late fee.
- Accurate Documentation: All relevant documents and registration details must be complete and accurate.
