International designs through Hague
The Hague System allows an eligible applicant to seek design protection in selected contracting parties through an international application.
Türkiye: practical decision and evidence
The Hague System allows an eligible applicant to seek design protection in selected contracting parties through an international application. Prepare reproductions and country choices using the member requirements. WIPO registration does not eliminate substantive refusal by designated offices.
Worked file: the designer chooses countries from a marketing wish list without checking Hague eligibility or local view requirements. Verify the applicant’s connection to a member and each designation’s requirements. Track office refusals after international registration; filing through WIPO does not eliminate substantive national review.
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.
Design priority
Design priority can connect a later filing to an earlier qualifying application within the relevant six-month period. Preserve the first application and verify identity of the design and applicant entitlement. A different variant cannot simply inherit every earlier priority claim.
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.
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.
