Starting trademark protection at Turkish customs
Identify the protected right, prepare evidence of representation and help Turkish customs recognise genuine products.
Trademark registration and a request for customs action are separate steps. Identify the right protected in Türkiye, the rights holder and the goods potentially covered. Decide who will file the request and who can respond to a customs notification.
A brand selling bags and shoes can prepare separate comparison sheets for each product family. Keep proof of the right, representation documents and dated product photographs together. Acceptance of the application does not automatically stop shipments. Customs assesses the goods and information available in the individual case.
