The Industrial Property Code No. 6769 ("the IP Code") which came into force on 10 January 2017 has been widely welcomed by brand owners as their rights have now been sealed through the introduction of this new Code.

The primary reason for the enactment of the new Code was the cancellation of various articles of the former Decree-laws on IP rights by the Constitutional Court on the grounds of Article 91 of the Constitution, which prohibits regulation of the property rights by a decree-law.

While most of the rules of the former decree-laws are similar, there are various new rules introduced by the IP Code and stakeholders are clearly interested in receiving further information about their actual implementation.
