Designs are protected only in the countries where they are registered. Design owners are also required to register their designs in the countries where they wish to protect them. Although there are different alternatives for design registration abroad, with the systems that allow applications in many countries at the same time, paperwork is significantly reduced by making a single application in a single language, and advantages are created in terms of time and especially cost.<\/p>\n
As ANADOLU PATENT, we ensure the protection of your designs with the registration service in the countries that you determine your existing designs registered or unregistered in the country, especially in the countries you export<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> Although design research is difficult, it is possible to conduct research on the design class, keywords of the design, and applicant information. The results are a source for the design registration process.<\/p>\n In order to minimize the risks before applying, it is recommended to conduct a similarity search through data sources in the countries where the application is being considered. The results will help to determine which system will be used for the application and a roadmap can be prepared according to the results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> In your target markets where you export your products, do not forget to carry out your application and registration procedures to avoid problems in sales and after sales.<\/p>\n Click here<\/a> to access the WIPO Hague Member List form.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> With our WIPmark\u00ae Monitoring Service, your designs are monitored and protected against similar or imitations.<\/p>\n For more details, please see our service page, please click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Design applications filed for registration have the right to be opposed by the right holder with a claim of right ownership within the period of publication in the design bulletin of the relevant country office. Appeals may be evaluated by the experts of the relevant country office and applications may be rejected.<\/p>\n The most important point in the objection procedures is the objection petitions prepared with the combination of experience and legal resources together with the evidentiary documents proving the right ownership.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Lawsuits or other legal proceedings may be filed against counterfeit products produced or sold or your designs used without authorization in accordance with the legislation in the relevant countries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Designs registered by the relevant country offices are protected for 5 years* from the date of application. It is possible to extend the protection period 5 times* by renewing for 5 years* each.<\/p>\n In order to avoid any problems in protecting your design rights, changes in the title, type and address of the applicant; changes in the ownership of rights to the design through transfer, license, merger, division or inheritance; and transactions such as attachment and pledge must be registered with the relevant country offices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Reports are prepared by analyzing the sector and your competitors, and the necessary strategies for your company and designs are determined according to the results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> It is a system in which over 60 countries, including Turkey, are members. Any number of countries can be selected with a single application. The application procedures are handled by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.<\/p>\n For the application to be made, there is no obligation to apply or register the same design in Turkey.<\/p>\n The fact that the procedures are carried out by a single institution makes it easier, less costly and less paperwork, and more advantageous than direct national applications.<\/p>\n<\/div>Advantages of registration?<\/h2>\n
