Türk Patent ve Marka Kurumu Nezdinde Markaların Kapsamındaki Mal ve Hizmetlerin Sınırlandırılması Uygulaması

Mal ve hizmet listesinin sınırlandırılması noktasında ulusal marka başvuruları ile uluslararası marka başvuruları bağlamında TÜRKPATENT uygulamasında farklılıklar olduğu gözlemlenmektedir. Uluslararası marka başvurularında marka sahipleri markalarının kapsamlarını daha sınırlı ve faaliyet alanlarına özgülemek suretiyle çok spesifik mal/hizmetler için başvurular yapmakta ve markalar bu hali ile TÜRKPATENT tarafından uygun görülmekte iken; yerel başvurularda gerek başvuru aşamasında gerek daha sonra yapılan sınırlandırma taleplerinin daha sıkı şartlara tabi tutularak ve daha dar yorumlandığı ve sıklıkla reddedildiği görülmektedir.

Markalar İçin İdari İptal Zamanı Geldi Çattı!

6769 sayılı Sınai Mülkiyet Kanunu’nun (“SMK”) 10.01.2017 tarihinde yürürlüğe girmesine kadar marka haklarına ilişkin olarak prosedürler, mülga 556 sayılı Markaların Korunması Hakkında Kanun Hükmünde Kararname (“KHK”) ile yürütülmekteydi. Marka hakkının sona ermesi hallerinden olan “iptal” müessesi ise her iki mevzuatta da yerini bulmakla beraber, SMK ile Türk Marka Hukukuna büyük bir yenilik getirilmiş olup, markalar hakkında iptal taleplerinin Türk Patent ve Marka Kurumu’ndan isteneceği düzenlenmiştir.

It’s Time for Administrative Revocation of Trademarks!

Before the Industrial Property Law (IPL) no. 6769 entered into force on 10 January 2017, procedures related to trademark rights were governed by the former Decree Law no. 556 on the Protection of Trademarks (“Decree Law”). In cases where the rights on the trademark shall end, while the matter of “revocation” is established in both legislations, the introduction of the IPL brings a major change to Turkish Trademark Law in this regard: the IPL rules that requests for revocation of trademarks shall be filed before the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (“the Office”).

Alternative Dispute Resolution System for Disputes Arising From ‘.tr’ Extended Domain Names in Türkiye

On 14 September 2022, TRABIS (‘.tr’ Network Information System) took over the management of ‘.tr’ extended domain names with the Regulation coming into force in Türkiye. According to the Regulation, domain names can be allocated as documented or undocumented. Undocumented allocation is carried out within the framework of the ‘first come, first served’ rule. This rule is applied to domain names with the most commonly used extensions such as ‘.com.tr’, ‘.org.tr’, ‘.net.tr’, etc. In the former legislation, it was necessary to prove (with documentation) that the owner of the domain name held another right (for example, trade mark, trade name, etc.) in order to obtain a domain name with the ‘.tr’ extension. Therefore, the Regulation has an innovative perspective in terms of previous practice in Türkiye.
