Partial design protection
For a partial design, identify the visible part claimed and clearly distinguish the remainder.
Türkiye: practical decision and evidence
For a partial design, identify the visible part claimed and clearly distinguish the remainder. Make all views consistent with that choice and verify local representation practice. Ambiguous broken lines can be interpreted as decoration instead of excluded matter.
Worked file: a design claims a handle but shows the entire machine without exclusions. Choose the claimed visible area, explain the remaining portions and make views consistent with the relevant practice. Review whether a reader can identify the intended claim before submitting representations.
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 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.
Spare-part designs
For spare-part designs, separate visible appearance from dimensions required for mechanical connection or purely technical function. Record the product context and applicable territory. Do not promise protection for every replacement part without checking statutory exclusions and limitations.
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.
