Ready to register your trademark in Turkey?
Whether you are the brand owner or an instructing IP firm, start with the mark and the goods or services you want to protect. We review the Turkish filing scope before sending a proposal.

What to send for a useful quote
| Case detail | What to send | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Mark and owner | Wording or a clear logo, plus the legal owner’s name and address. | Identifies the sign and the party that will own the Turkish application. |
| Goods and services | Your proposed specification or the classes covered by an earlier filing. | Defines the Turkish specification and class count for the quote. |
| Priority or existing file | Earlier application details, if priority is intended; any Turkish case number. | Separates a new national filing from work on an existing right. |
If a document is missing, identify it in the enquiry. Please include any approaching deadline.
Trademark registration fees in Turkey
The cost depends on the number of Nice classes, the filing scope, any priority claim and whether an objection or opposition arises later. After reviewing the mark and goods or services, we provide a case-specific proposal separating the applicable official costs and professional service.
How long does trademark registration take in Turkey?
The timetable depends on examination, publication and whether a refusal or third-party opposition occurs. We confirm the current procedural stage and report each official development rather than presenting an unconditional completion date.
For overseas applicants and foreign associates
Instructions can be handled remotely in English. We provide a clear document request, confirm the filing scope before submission and keep the applicant or instructing associate informed of official correspondence throughout the Turkish procedure.
After the application is filed
We monitor the file and report examination results, publication and registration developments. If a refusal or opposition arises, the issue is separated from the original filing scope and a case-specific recommendation is provided before further action.
Intellectual property lawyer or trademark representative?
If you are searching for an intellectual property lawyer in Turkey, the right professional depends on the matter. Trademark clearance, filing and prosecution before TÜRKPATENT are handled through trademark representation; court litigation requires separately admitted legal counsel. We define the procedural scope before instruction so foreign applicants and IP firms know which route is required.
Trademark priority, publication and protection term
A conventional priority claim is generally based on an eligible earlier filing made within six months. The claim is made with the Turkish application; the priority document must be provided within three months after filing.
For preparation, send the mark wording or clear logo, the legal owner’s name and address, the proposed goods and services, and any priority filing details. We confirm the Turkish specification, class count, representative details and any additional authorisation documents before submission.

Frequently asked questions
What is required for trademark registration in Turkey?
The initial review normally requires the mark, applicant name and address, intended goods and services, priority details if applicable, and any relevant filing deadline.
Can a foreign applicant file a trademark in Turkey?
Yes. Foreign applicants and international IP firms may instruct us remotely for review, filing and English-language reporting before TÜRKPATENT.
Should we conduct a trademark search before filing?
A pre-filing review can identify potentially relevant earlier records and classification issues. Its scope and limitations should be agreed separately from the filing instruction.
How much does trademark registration in Turkey cost?
The proposal separates official filing and registration fees from professional work. The class count, specification, priority claim and any later refusal or opposition affect the total; send the mark and goods or services for a defined quote.
What does a Turkey trademark filing quote include?
The quote identifies the classes, goods and services, filing preparation, official costs, professional fees and reporting scope. Searches, registration-stage fees and later refusal or opposition work are identified as included or separately quoted.
Can your team work with our overseas trademark attorney?
Yes. Identify the instructing firm and the applicant when sending the enquiry. We can coordinate document requests and English-language reporting through the foreign associate.
Do I need a search or a filing quote first?
If the mark and intended goods or services are settled, request a filing quote. If earlier Turkish rights need to be reviewed first, state that you need a clearance search; its scope is agreed separately.
