Does a Trade Mark registered abroad provide protection by law in Turkey?
If a Trade Mark is registered abroad, but not in Turkey it may only be protected by law from unfair competition. When such case is opened in the court, evidences must be presented about whether a brand production was registered, or a product is thrown in the same sector or introduced unfairly. If presented evidences are considered sufficient, then an application for Trade Mark registration in Turkey will be declined or a registered Trade Mark will be canceled.
