Trademark Law In Türkiye Key Developments And Predictions - 2024

While the year 2023 did not bring substantial changes to the Turkish Trademark Law practice, it can still be considered an important year in terms of introducing some modifications and innovations in application.

A portion of the year, especially due to the changes in judges at the Intellectual and Industrial Property Rights Courts in Istanbul, passed with uncertainties. However, with the appointment of new judges to these Courts in the last quarter of the year, there has been an improvement in both the workload and the uncertainties in the processes.

During a certain period of the year, uncertainties prevailed, particularly because of the re- composition of the judges residing at the civil IP Courts of Istanbul. Nevertheless, the appointment of new judges to these Courts in the final quarter of the year led to a certain level of improvement in both case management and the clarification of uncertainties within the legal processes.
