It is a national application, i.e. a trademark application made on behalf of a company or individual, within the framework of a system, at the office of the country in which the application is requested.
In Which Situations Should It Be Preferred?
If the requested country is not included in one of the collective trademark registration systems, trademark application may be made considering the status of the mark in Turkey and the registration system of the country where registration is requested.
Things to Pay Attention before Applying
- To conduct a preliminary investigation of the trademark.
- The obligation to work with the attorney (which means an attorney registered with the Country Office) needs to be investigated.
- Does the trademark include a geographical place or name?
- Determination of the product or class.
In each country, trademark registration processes, requirements and costs vary.
Often there is a need to work with a local proxy firm. Sistem Patent has been carrying out registration processes via strong cooperation with strong professional companies for years.
