Overview

Non-use cancellation actions in Turkey are currently handled by the Courts, yet this authority will be transferred to the Turkish PTO from 10 January 2024. Since there is very little time left for this new period, which will lead to changes in both procedural and fundamental aspects, it is now more important than ever to identify what awaits the trademark owners.

This webinar, brought to you by Legal Business magazine and NSN Law Firm, will review the use requirement from a broad perspective and focus on the following issues:

• The consequences of non-use of the trademark and what constitutes ‘genuine use’, as per the Turkish IP Law.
• The difference in the ‘genuine use’ assessment of the Turkish IP Courts and Turkish PTO.
• The recent landmark Turkish IP Court decision enlightening the issue of what constitutes genuine use.
• The current practice of the EU on ‘genuine use’ assessment.
