Design Protection Term

The initial term of protection provided for design is 5 years starting from the date of application. The respective period can be extended for 25 years at most, in 5-year renewals.


When is the due date?

The request for renewal shall be submitted in the 6-month period before the expiry date of the registration and the information regarding the payment of the fee needs to be submitted to the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (the “Office”) within the same period.
