&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">NFTs, defined as non-fungible digital assets, are
possibly one of the most popular digital assets that have emerged in recent
years. They have become prominent in the rapidly growing gaming industry, as
well as health and art sectors. In this regard, NFTs are appealing to many
artists, collectors and investors.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The rapid development and popularity of NFTs has led
to the creation of a large worldwide market. NFTs’ popularity has rendered
disputes inevitable. Legal systems, on the other hand, were unable to keep up
with this rapid development. Thus, naturally, current regulations have fallen
short of addressing many of the key legal issues regarding NFTs.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Even though there are no regulations fully regulating
NFTs, existing disputes and jurisprudence regarding NFTs are guiding the
practice. One of the most significant examples of this is the interim
injunction decision within the dispute that we have been representing our
client Emrah Karaca, at Istanbul 3rd Civil Court of Intellectual and Industrial
Rights (Court) ruled on 21 June 2022 which was a first in Turkey. 
The parties of the dispute are the inheritor and the
son of deceased Cem Karaca who is one of the most well-known artists in Turkey,
Emrah Karaca and Yiğit Mohaç Yücel, an artist who illustrated a portrait of Cem
Karaca and put it up for sale in the form of an NFT.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Plaintiff Emrah Karaca brought the relevant dispute to
the Court, since the portrait of his father, Cem Karaca, was unlawfully offered
for sale by various means, primarily through NFT, and had been shared and
exhibited on social media platforms for commercial purposes. In this context,
Emrah Karaca claimed that the display and sharing of this portrait with
commercial purposes constitutes a violation of personal rights under the
Turkish Civil Code and the Law on Intellectual and Artistic Work and demanded
cease of the sale of this portrait and that be removed from the platforms where
it was published. In order to prevent the NFT from being sold, and get a
recording of evidence, plaintiff Emrah Karaca requested an interim injunction.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Upon reviewing an experts’ examination, the Court
accepted the request for interim injunction, as it found that the request was
well-founded. As a result, the Court decided to blockade access to the URL to
the portrait on one of the most widely used NFT platforms on the Internet,
OpenSea and the prevention of sale of Cem Karaca’s portrait on the same
platform. Upon receiving the judgment, the portrait was taken down from the NFT
platform OpenSea.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The interim injunction decision of the Court is
crucial as it is a first in Turkey and since it could set a precedent for
similar disputes in the future, as it shows that NFTs could be subject of
enforceable decisions. Likewise, the removal of the portrait from OpenSea and
halt of its sale, also shows how executable Turkish court decisions are on the
matter and whether they can be enforceable or not.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Even though the technical details about the properties
of NFT is not assessed in detail in this interim injunction, this decision is
significant in the way that it shows how courts could examine rights violations
under the relevant law. In this regard, although there is no regulation in
Turkey regarding NFTs, this interim injunction is crucial as it shows NFTs can
be subject to executable decisions by courts and that NFTs can also constitute
rights violations under Turkish law.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The defendant Yiğit Mohaç Yücel however, objected to
the decision of the Court and upon its rejection, brought it before Istanbul
Regional Court of Appeal. The second instance court decided in favour of the
court of first instance and approved the interim injunction. Thus, the first
interim injunction related to NFTs became final.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The decision of the court of second instance is
crucial as it is the first court decision regarding the legal status of NFTs in
Turkey. However, how this decision will affect the legal status of NFTs in the
upcoming regulations in Turkey in the near future is a matter of curiosity.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>

NFTs, defined as non-fungible digital assets, are possibly one of the most popular digital assets that have emerged in recent years. They have become prominent in the rapidly growing gaming industry, as well as health and art sectors. In this regard, NFTs are appealing to many artists, collectors and investors.

&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">Denkleştirme
tazminatı, Yargıtay kararlarında “acentelik sözleşmesi sona erdikten sonra, bu
ilişkinin devamı boyunca acentenin kişisel gayretiyle yarattığı müşteri
çevresinden âkidinin halen yararlanması, acentenin ise yararlanmaması nedeniyle
uğradığı kaybın karşılığı” şeklinde tanımlanmıştır.&lt;/span>&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;">[1]&lt;/span>&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"> 6102 sayılı Türk Ticaret
Kanunu’nun (TTK) 122. maddesinde düzenlenen denkleştirme tazminatının
amacı, acentelik sözleşmesinin feshi nedeniyle, acentenin, belirli bir süre
pazarda faaliyette bulunacağına güvenerek yapmış olduğu reklam ve tanıtım
faaliyetleri ile pazar ve müşteri portföyü oluşturan, bu anlamda sözleşmenin
feshedilmesinden sonra dahi müvekkil firmanın yarar sağlamasına vesile olması
nedeniyle belli oranda tazminata hak kazanması suretiyle hakkaniyetin ihdas
edilmesi düşüncesidir. Bu kapsamda denkleştirme tazminatı sadece “maddi zarar”
veya “mali bir hak” olarak değerlendirilmemeli, müşteri çevresinden kaynaklanan
ve acentelik sözleşmesinin sona ermesi ile acente aleyhine oluşan durumun
giderilmesi çabası ile ilişkilendirilmelidir.&lt;/span>&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;">[2]&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">TTK m. 122/1 hükmü
uyarınca, sözleşme ilişkisinin sona ermesinden sonra;&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;ul style="list-style-type: square;">&lt;li style="margin-left: 20px; text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">Müvekkil,
acentenin bulduğu yeni müşteriler sayesinde, sözleşme ilişkisinin sona
ermesinden sonra da önemli menfaatler elde ediyorsa,&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/li>&lt;li style="margin-left: 20px; text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">
Acente,
sözleşme ilişkisinin sona ermesinin sonucu olarak, onun tarafından işletmeye
kazandırılmış müşterilerle yapılmış veya kısa bir süre içinde yapılacak olan
işler dolayısıyla sözleşme ilişkisi devam etmiş olsaydı elde edeceği ücret
isteme hakkını kaybediyorsa,&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/li>&lt;li style="margin-left: 20px; text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">
Somut
olayın özellik ve şartları değerlendirildiğinde, ödenmesi hakkaniyete uygun
düşüyorsa&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/li>&lt;/ul>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">acente,
müvekkilden uygun bir tazminat isteyebilir. TTK m. 122/4’e göre acentelik
sözleşmesi sona erdikten sonra 1 yıllık bir süre içerisinde acentenin
denkleştirme talebinde bulunması gerekmektedir. Doktrinde, bu 1 yıllık süre hak
düşürücü süre olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu nedenle, denkleştirme talep hakkı
söz konusu 1 yıllık süre içinde ileri sürülmüş olmak kaydıyla Türk Borçlar
Kanunu m. 147/5 uyarınca beş yıllık zamanaşımı süresi içinde dava yoluyla da
istenebilir[3].
Ancak belirtmek gerekir ki TTK m. 122/3 hükmü uyarınca müvekkilin, feshi haklı
gösterecek bir eylemi olmadan, acente sözleşmeyi feshetmişse veya acentenin
kusuru sebebiyle sözleşme müvekkil tarafından haklı sebeplerle feshedilmişse,
acente denkleştirme isteminde bulunamaz.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">TTK m. 122/4’te,
denkleştirme isteminden önceden vazgeçilemeyeceği hüküm altına alınmıştır. Buna
göre, acentelik sözleşmesinde yer alan, denkleştirme tazminatı istenemeyeceği
yönündeki hükümler, geçersiz sayılacaktır. Ancak sözleşme akdedildikten sonra
denkleştirme talebinden vazgeçilmesi, doktrinde tartışmalı olmakla birlikte hukuken
mümkündür.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">Denkleştirme
miktarının belirlenmesi hususunda TTK’de doğrudan bir düzenleme bulunmamaktadır.
Bununla birlikte TTK m.122/2 hükmü uyarınca üst sınır “&lt;/span>&lt;em>Tazminat, acentenin
son beş yıllık faaliyeti sonucu aldığı yıllık komisyon veya diğer ödemelerin
ortalamasını aşamaz.&lt;/em>&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">” şeklinde belirtilmiştir. Bu doğrultuda hâkim, üst
sınırı aşmamak kaydıyla, hakkaniyete uygun bir tazminata hükmedebilecektir.
Sözleşmenin beş yıldan daha kısa bir sürede sona ermiş olması halinde ise, bu
sürede elde edilen ücret ve diğer ödemelerin ortalaması alınarak tazminat
hesaplaması yapılmaktadır.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">Son olarak, TTK
125/5 hükmüne göre hakkaniyete aykırı düşmedikçe, tek satıcılık ile benzeri
diğer tekel hakkı veren sürekli sözleşme ilişkilerinin sona ermesi hâlinde de
denkleştirme tazminatının talep edilebileceği belirtilmiştir. Ancak burada
önemle belirtmek gerekir ki ilgili sözleşme ilişkisinin tarafa tekel hakkı
tanıması gerekmektedir. Örneğin tekel hakkı tanımayan bir bayilik sözleşmesine
dayanarak denkleştirme tazminatı talep edilemeyecektir.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;hr>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;strong>[1]&lt;/strong>&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"> Yargıtay 11.HD, 30.11.2017,

6102 (&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;strong style="font-size: 14px;">TCC&lt;/strong>&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">) aims to establish equity by entitling the agent to a certain
amount of compensation consequent to the termination of the agency agreement,
due to the fact that the agent has created a market and customer portfolio through
advertising and promotional activities based on the assumption that it will
operate in the market for a certain period of time, and in this sense, has been
instrumental in the benefit enjoyed by the principal even after the termination of the
agreement. In this context, the compensation should not only be considered as
"pecuniary damage" or a "financial right", but should also be
associated with the effort to remedy the adverse situation arising from the
customer base garnered by the agent and the termination of the agency agreement
resulting in the detriment of the agency&lt;/span>&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;">[2]&lt;/span>&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">According to Art. 122/1 TCC, after the termination of the contractual
relationship;&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;ul style="list-style-type: square;">&lt;li style="margin-left: 20px; text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">If the principal obtains significant benefits after
the termination of the contractual relationship, due to the new customers found
by the agent,&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/li>&lt;li style="margin-left: 20px; text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">If, as a result of the termination of the contractual
relationship, the agent loses the right to demand remuneration for the works
already performed or to be imminently performed with the customers brought into
business by him, that he would have otherwise obtained had the contractual
relationship continued,&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/li>&lt;li style="margin-left: 20px; text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">If, when the facts and circumstances of the case are
evaluated, it is equitable to pay,&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/li>&lt;/ul>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">The agent may request a suitable compensation from the principal.
Pursuant to Article 122/4 of the TCC, the agent is required to request
compensation within a period of 1 year following the termination of the agency
agreement. This 1-year period is considered as a forfeiture period according to
the majority view. Therefore, provided that the right to demand goodwill
compensation is asserted within the above-mentioned 1-year period, it may also
be asserted through a lawsuit within the five-year statute of limitations
pursuant to Article 147/5 of the Turkish Code of Obligations (&lt;/span>&lt;strong style="font-size: 14px;">TCO&lt;/strong>&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">)&lt;/span>&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;">[3]&lt;/span>&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">. However, it should be
noted that, pursuant to Article 122/3 of the TCC, if the agent has terminated
the contract in the absence of any act of the principal justifying the
termination, or if the contract has been terminated by the principal with just
cause due to the fault of the agent, then the agent cannot claim goodwill
compensation.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">Article 122/4 of the TCC stipulates that the compensation claim cannot
be waived in advance. Accordingly, the provisions in the agency agreement
stating that the agent may not request a goodwill compensation claim shall be
deemed invalid. However, it is legally possible to waive the goodwill
compensation claim after the conclusion of the agreement, although its validity
is subject to dispute in the doctrine.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">TCC does not contain an explicit regulation governing the determination
of the compensation amount. However, Article 122/2 of the TCC, does contain a
provision relating to the upper limit of the compensation amount stipulating
that "Compensation shall not exceed the average of the annual
commission or other payments received by the agent as a result of its
activities in the last five years." Accordingly, the judge may award
an equitable compensation, provided that it does not exceed the upper limit. If
the agreement is terminated within a period shorter than five years, the compensation
is calculated by taking the average of the fees and other payments received
during the duration of the agreement.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">Lastly, pursuant to Article 125/5 of the TCC, unless it would be
contrary to principles of equity, compensation may be claimed in the event of
the termination of exclusive dealing and other similar permanent contractual
relationships granting exclusivity rights. However, it is important to note
here that the relevant contractual relationship must grant exclusivity rights
to the party. For example, goodwill compensation cannot be claimed based on a
dealership agreement that does not grant exclusivity.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;hr style="">&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;strong>[1]&lt;/strong>&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"> Yargıtay 11.HD, 30.11.2017,

Goodwill compensation has been subject to myriad Court of Cassation decisions and is defined as "the compensation for the continued benefit arising from the customer base garnered through the personal efforts of the agent during the agency relationship, and still enjoyed by the principal and not by the agent after the termination of the agency agreement."

Goodwill Compensation

&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">İlk olarak on dört yıl önce Kanadalı gizlilik
komiseri Ann Cavoukian tarafından kullanılan “tasarımda gizlilik” kavramı (&lt;/span>&lt;em>Privacy
By Design – PbD&lt;/em>&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">) artık tüketici mal ve hizmetlerinin güvenliği için küresel
bir gizlilik standardı. Uluslararası Standardizasyon Örgütü’nün (ISO) "Tüketici
mal ve hizmetleri için tasarımda gizlilik" isimli yeni standardı ISO 31700
8 Şubat 2023'te kabul edildi. Ayrıca, standartla birlikte standardın kullanım
gerekliliklerini açıklayan bir belge de yayımlandı.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">Aşağıda tasarımda gizliliğin ne anlama

sistemlerinin, ürünlerin ve hizmetlerin tasarım özelliklerine ve uygulamalarına
proaktif olarak yerleştirmek için benimsenen çerçeve bir ilkedir. Temel olarak bu
ilkenin amacı, ürün ve hizmet geliştirme sürecinin her aşamasında gizlilikle ilgili
hususlarının dikkate alınmasını ve risklerin en aza indirilmesini sağlamaktır.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">Bu kapsamda, tasarımda gizlilik ilkesine uyum

aktarılmasını sağlamaya yardımcı olur.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/li>&lt;li style="margin-left: 20px; text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;em>Kişisel
veriler üzerinde kontrol:&lt;/em>&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">
Tasarımda gizlilik, ilgili kişilerin kişisel verilerine erişme, bunları değiştirme
ve silme haklarına sahip olmalarını temin ederek bireylere kendi verileri
üzerinde kontrol hakkı tanır.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/li>&lt;li style="margin-left: 20px; text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;em style="">Güven

Siber Güvenlik Ajansı'nın 27 Ocak 2023 tarihli raporunda da öne çıkan bir
konuydu. Rapor, siber güvenlik teknolojilerinin ve tekniklerinin kişisel veriler
paylaşırken GDPR ilkelerinin uygulanmasını nasıl destekleyebileceğini açıklıyor.
Bu kapsamda, veri paylaşım süreçlerinde tasarımda gizlilik ilkesinin

tüketicilerin gizlilik ile ilgili haklarını kullanmasını temin etmek üzere
ürünlerin tasarlanması, tüketicilere kişisel verileri ile ilgili aydınlatma
yapılması, gizlilik risklerinin değerlendirilmesi, risklerin tespit edilerek
belgelenmesi, ilgili kontrollerinin nasıl yapılması gerektiği ve veri ihlal

tasarımından dağıtım sürecine kadar tüketici mal ve hizmetlerinin her
geliştirme aşamasında dikkate alınmasını ve korunmasını hedefliyor. Tasarımda
gizlilik ilkesine uyum aynı zamanda uluslararası çapta pek çok ülkede veri
sorumluları için yasal bir zorunluluk olduğundan, bu konuda bir standart yayımlanması
dikkate değer bir gelişme. Ann Cavoukian, bu gelişmeyi gizliliğe ilişkin "önemli
bir kilometre taşı" olarak nitelendiriyor.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">Standardın, küçük girişimlerden çok uluslu
şirketlere kadar farklı ölçekteki birçok şirket tarafından kullanılmak üzere
tasarlanmış olduğunu da belirtmek gerek. Buna ek olarak, standart her türlü tüketici

olarak benimsenmesi bekleniyor.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">ISO’nun standart ile ilgili resmî açıklamasına

ile ilgili konularının bireyler ve şirketler için öncelik haline geldiği ve dijitalleşen
dünyamızda giderek daha da hayati bir ilke haline geldiği açıktır. Bu nedenle, tasarımda
gizlilik ile ilgili yeni ISO 31700 standardı, şirketlerin gizlilik ile ilgili
yasa ve düzenlemelere uyum sağlaması için önemli bir yol gösterici olacak.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&nbsp;&lt;br>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Recently,
        portfolio management companies (&lt;strong>PMC&lt;/strong>s) in Turkey have been growing
        rapidly in both number and volume. This rapid growth has brought with it the
        necessity to make amendments to the law on PMCs. On the sector side, it is
        believed that PMCs generally have difficulties in accessing the technical means
        and establishing the employment and organizational structure they need to
        operate more efficiently. Most PMCs suffer large losses from their capital
        until they make a profit, and therefore those that do not have enough capital
        cease their operations. We anticipate that the Communiqué Amending the
        Communiqué on Principles Regarding Portfolio Management Companies and
        Activities of Such Companies (&lt;strong>Communiqué&lt;/strong>) published in the Official
        Gazette dated February 18, 2023, may be useful in overcoming these problems.
        The most important changes brought by the Communiqué can be listed as &lt;strong>(i)&lt;/strong>
        increase of the minimum requirements for initial capital and equity capital, &lt;strong>(ii)&lt;/strong>
        establishment of service units within the company, and &lt;strong>(iii)&lt;/strong> employment
        of a set number of managers. &lt;/span>&lt;/p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;strong>&nbsp;&lt;/strong>&lt;br>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;strong>&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Lower
            Limit Increase for Initial and Equity Capital&lt;/span>&lt;/strong>&lt;/p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&nbsp;&lt;br>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Pursuant to
        art. 2 of the Communiqué, the minimum possible initial capital of a PMC has
        been increased from 6 million TRY to 30 million TRY. This lower limit was
        increased from 3 million 750 thousand TRY to 15 million TRY for PMCs with limited
        activities. As in the previous regulation, the minimum limits on equity capital
        vary according to the size of the relevant portfolio. However, with the recent
        amendment, a significant increase was made in the minimum limits of equity
        capital. Pursuant to art. 11 of the Communiqué, the minimum equity capital
        limit is set at 30 million TRY for companies with a portfolio size of up to 1
        billion TRY, while the minimum equity capital limit for companies with a
        portfolio size exceeding 36 billion TRY is regulated as 100 million TRY. This
        increase in the initial and equity capital requirements of PMCs can be
        considered a precaution regarding the current and potential resource needs and
        shortages of companies.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>

        evaluated that the amendment made with the Communiqué in relation to company
        management may solve the organizational problems of PMCs to a certain extent.
        Pursuant to the relevant articles (&lt;em>art. 3 and art. 7&lt;/em>) of the Communiqué,
        a new structure has been introduced stipulating that the number of managers in
        a given PMC cannot be less than three, four, five and six, respectively, in
        proportion to the portfolio sizes set out in art. 11. In addition, pursuant to
        art. 7, in cases where portfolio managers and the fund service units are
        established within the company, the requirement for the fund manager to be
        employed exclusively and on a full-time basis is regulated. We are of the
        opinion that these new regulations will positively impact the efficiency and
        organizational structure of PMCs.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;strong>&nbsp;&lt;/strong>&lt;br>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;strong>&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Service
            Units to be Established within the Company &lt;/span>&lt;/strong>&lt;/p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&nbsp;&lt;br>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>

        noteworthy amendment is by virtue of art. 4 and art. 6 which provides for the
        internal employment structure of research, risk management, internal control
        and service units for broadly authorized PMCs. Thus, the units that are most
        important for PMCs will be established within the company and this will
        strengthen the organizational efficiency and integrity of PMCs.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>





&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;strong>&nbsp;&lt;/strong>&lt;br>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&nbsp;&lt;br>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Many PMCs
        cannot continue to operate and cease their activities due to insufficient
        capital. Furthermore, there are financial and managerial obstacles standing
        before the development and continuity of PMCs that have commenced their
        activities without sufficient financial strength. The above-mentioned new
        regulations are aimed to strengthen PMCs in terms of management and capital.
        Thus, in the coming days, it may be possible to observe positive developments
        regarding PMCs, as they strengthen their financial and administrative
        structures by adapting to the changes brought by the Communiqué.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>

Recently, portfolio management companies in Turkey have been growing rapidly in both number and volume. This rapid growth has brought with it the necessity to make amendments to the law on PMCs.

the digital asset economy for matters relating to private law. This includes the definition of digital asset, the importance

an important role across many sectors. Therefore, Draft Principles are crucial for global economy and financial markets.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Currently, UNIDROIT is undertaking a public consultation in relation to the Draft Principles.

asset transactions. The deadline to submit comments and views is 20 February 2023.
