Furniture and product designs
For furniture and product designs, identify whether protection is sought for the whole product or a visible part.
Türkiye: practical decision and evidence
For furniture and product designs, identify whether protection is sought for the whole product or a visible part. Prepare consistent views and separate variants. A new mechanism and a new appearance raise different protection questions.
Worked file: a furniture collection changes legs, upholstery and surface details between variants. Identify which variations form separate designs and select whole/partial protection with consistent views. Preserve first-display dates from showroom and catalogue; grouping commercially related products does not erase their distinct appearances.
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.
Locarno classification
Locarno classification organises designs by products for filing and searching. Choose the product indication from the actual design use and check the current classification. A shared Locarno class does not prove two designs are legally identical.
Design publication and opposition
A design publication must be checked against the filed views, design number and date. In Türkiye the publication opposition period is three months. Keep the bulletin and monitor notices; publication, opposition and renewal are distinct procedural events.
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.
