Trademark similarity analysis
Compare dominant and weak elements of the signs alongside consumers, goods/services and purchasing conditions.
Türkiye: practical decision and evidence
Compare dominant and weak elements of the signs alongside consumers, goods/services and purchasing conditions. Explain the overall impression in a reasoned report. A visual percentage or a single shared word cannot replace the legal similarity assessment.
Worked file: both signs contain a weak descriptive word while their dominant elements differ. Analyse distinctiveness, overall impression and relevant purchasing conditions with the goods/services. Explain similarities and meaningful distinctions; counting common letters alone can exaggerate the risk.
Visual, aural and conceptual similarity
Examine visual, aural and conceptual similarity together where relevant to the consumer. Record pronunciation, meaning and dominant elements, then connect them to goods/services. Similarity in only one aspect is not a universal rule that decides every case.
Similarity of goods and services
Compare goods/services by nature, purpose, users, distribution channels and their complementary or competing relationship. Explain the connection with the actual wording. Identical class numbers do not automatically prove similarity, and different numbers do not rule it out.
Relative trademark refusal grounds
Relative refusal grounds concern earlier rights and the statutory opposition conditions. Compare filing/priority dates, signs, goods/services and the claimant’s entitlement. A later party’s objection must still be supported by the relevant earlier right and evidence.
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.
