A Turkish opposition requires a ground-by-ground file

An opposition should connect each legal ground with the earlier right, the contested goods or services and the supporting evidence. Similarity of words alone does not determine the outcome; distinctiveness, overall impression and the commercial relationship between the specifications also matter.

We structure the filing around the published application, earlier registrations, use evidence where relevant and the opposition deadline. Foreign associates receive a clear issue list, document request and Turkish procedural plan before filing.

Your instruction and fee scope

Send the target application, publication date, earlier rights and available evidence. The proposal defines the grounds and goods or services challenged, evidence work, filing and reporting.

Local opposition support

We review the conflicting signs, cited rights, goods and services, supporting evidence and procedural deadline before recommending an opposition strategy.

What the service covers

  • Conflict and earlier-rights assessment
  • Legal and factual grounds for opposition
  • Preparation and organisation of evidence
  • Filing, deadline control and status reporting

How an opposition file is assessed

We compare the signs, covered goods and services, relevant earlier rights and the commercial context. The proposed grounds are then matched with the documents that can support the opposition under Turkish trademark practice.

Start with the publication details

Send the contested application number, publication details, supporting registrations, available use evidence and the applicable deadline.

Documents that may be relevant

  • Registration and application records for the earlier mark
  • Invoices, catalogues, advertising or online use records where relevant
  • Information showing the relationship between the goods or services
  • Previous decisions, correspondence or settlement material

Reporting after filing

After submission, we issue a filing report and monitor the opposition file. Any counterstatement, evidence request or decision is reviewed and reported with the next available procedural options.

Clear scope before instruction

Before a Turkish trademark opposition is filed, Anlam Patent verifies the target application, earlier rights and publication deadline, then confirms the evidence, filing scope and professional fees.

Evidence and proof-of-use requirements

Send the target application, publication date and goods and services, the opponent’s earlier rights, ownership details and evidence mapped to each asserted ground. The ordinary opposition window is two months from publication.

For an opposition based on an earlier registered mark, the applicant may request proof of genuine use where that mark was registered for at least five years at the filing or priority date of the contested application. The relevant goods, territory and five-year evidence period must be checked before preparing a use file.
