TURUNÇ advises on a multitude of intellectual property rights including copyrights, domain names, service marks, trademarks and trade secrets.

In connection with these rights, we advise on:

• the intellectual property aspects of corporate transactions
• registrations, renewals, withdrawals and cancellations
• drafting agreements relating to these rights
• permissions to use and licenses
• changes of title and transfers
• representation before the Turkish Patent Institute
• claims against third parties and representation in disputes, including in civil and criminal cases
• investigating whether goods at customs or in the marketplace are counterfeit
• applying for and exercising raid actions

Given the emergence of new technologies such as cryptocurrencies, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and Turkey’s expanding startup scene, our technology practice works in close contact with our intellectual property team, especially in regard to transactions and employee-created intellectual property.
