Design renewal

Türkiye: practical decision and evidence

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.

Worked file: a renewal list includes an abandoned variant and omits a still-selling product. Verify every number, owner and official expiry against the register, then obtain written renewal instructions. Maintain confirmation of accepted renewal rather than relying on a portfolio-wide payment total.

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. Track each design separately. Registration does not make renewal automatic and does not create another twenty-five-year term.

Design portfolio management

Build a design portfolio register linking each design to products, owner, country, filing date and renewal event. Reconcile it with official records and licences. A product catalogue alone cannot establish which designs remain registered and who owns them.

Renewal and deadline monitoring

Separate trademark renewal, design renewal and patent annual-fee events in the portfolio calendar. Record the legal owner, right number and jurisdiction for each event. An annual reminder without the actual statutory due date can miss an essential 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.
