Preliminary design search
Search earlier design publications, product catalogues and dated market disclosures.
Türkiye: practical decision and evidence
Search earlier design publications, product catalogues and dated market disclosures. Compare visible features and overall impressions rather than only product names. A database search with no matching result does not guarantee novelty or individual character.
Worked file: the database returns no identical registered design, but an earlier trade-fair catalogue has a similar appearance. Examine that disclosure’s date and accessibility and compare the design features. Include relevant non-register material; an exact-name query is not a comprehensive novelty investigation.
Design protection conditions
Design protection depends on novelty and individual character, considering the informed user’s overall impression and the designer’s freedom. Compare dated earlier appearances. Mere novelty in a product name does not establish a protectable appearance.
Design: twelve-month disclosure exception
For Turkish design protection, examine the twelve-month disclosure exception against the actual disclosure date, person and circumstances. Retain dated catalogues and launch records. Do not treat this exception as a safe worldwide filing strategy; other countries can apply different rules.
Design representations
Prepare consistent views that disclose the same design and its relevant visible features. Explain omitted views and any excluded parts where required. Mixed colours, inconsistent shapes or unclear contours can leave the intended protection uncertain.
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.
