IP Law

Çetinkaya+Yücesan works not only to protect trademarks, designs, and commercial ideas but also to help them grow. For C+Y, intellectual property is not merely a file, a registration, or a lawsuit—it is the art of carrying the story of industrial property right safely into the future.

Our firm provides clear, accessible, and results-oriented services at every stage, from preparing trademark and design applications to managing registration and opposition processes. We avoid unnecessary complexity and design processes that are fast, precise, and transparent. Some of our lawyers are authorized trademark attorneys before the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TÜRKPATENT), enabling our clients to manage proceedings directly, confidently and without having the need to engage with third-party service providers.

C+Y actively represents clients before courts and administrative authorities to prevent infringements of industrial property rights and to protect rights holders’ interests in case of violations. In invalidation, cancellation, unfair competition, and compensation actions, our experienced team approaches each dispute with the sensitivity required to protect the client’s commercial identity.

Our services go beyond litigation. We offer strategic legal advice on commercial arrangements such as the transfer and licensing of intellectual and industrial property rights, coexistence and co-promotion agreements, subcontracting, and settlement arrangements. Every document, clause, and negotiation is crafted with the aim of preserving and strengthening the reputation of our client’s brand.

For our team, punctuality and foresight are fundamental principles. That is why every project turns into a structured, straightforward, yet effective roadmap. Through transparent communication and an accessible working style, our clients are not passive observers but active participants in every step of the process.
