Design protection up to twenty-five years
Turkish registered designs start with five years of protection and can be renewed in five-year periods up to twenty-five years.
Türkiye: practical decision and evidence
Turkish registered designs start with five years of protection and can be renewed in five-year periods up to twenty-five years. Track each design separately. Registration does not make renewal automatic and does not create another twenty-five-year term.
Worked file: three product designs were filed on different dates, but one reminder covers all. Obtain each actual filing date from the official record and calculate its five-year renewal event and maximum term independently. Match the payment confirmation to the correct design; a shared product range does not create a shared legal renewal date.
Industrial design registration
Industrial design protection concerns a product’s appearance, including shape, lines, colour and surface features. Compare novelty and individual character before filing. Features dictated solely by technical function are a different issue and are not protected merely because they appear in a photograph.
Design renewal
Renew each registered design against its filing-date calendar and applicable official renewal conditions; record priority events separately. Check design numbers, ownership and payment evidence. Renewing one product in a portfolio does not renew every related design automatically.
Registered and unregistered designs
In Türkiye, registered designs begin with five years, renewable up to twenty-five; unregistered protection concerns qualifying first disclosure in Türkiye and lasts three years. Preserve disclosure evidence. These routes have different scope and proof issues and are not substitutes for every foreign filing.
Official filing and support
This guidance concerns Turkish rights unless a section expressly names another jurisdiction. Kayra can coordinate research, document preparation and follow-up. Registration, opposition and grant decisions belong to the competent office. Verify any required representative’s registration and authority before appointing them; court proceedings require appropriately qualified legal representation. The enquiry form requests consultancy, and does not itself file an official application.
