Trademark registration in Turkey is becoming increasingly important for both local businesses and medium-to-large companies. The official protection of trademarks and the requirement of a trademark ownership certificate on most e-commerce platforms have also increased demand for trademark registration.
On the other hand, trademark registration is a more complicated process than it seems, and the cost of the trademark, along with the fees, is a matter of curiosity for applicants. With the publication of the 2024 Turkish Patent Institution trademark processing fee schedule, the cost of trademark registration has also been determined.
