Design Research
With the design research, companies can see the designs of the companies operating in their sectors. Thus, by seeing registered designs, unintentional design infringements can be avoided.
More InformationLike many intellectual property rights, designs are only valid in the countries where they are registered. If the design subject will be used abroad, it is also necessary to apply for design and get protection in those countries. Especially if there are countries where the exporter companies export and they plan to export in their strategic plans, they need to make design application in also those countries in 6 months at the latest from the date of their application in Turkey. 6 months limit for application abroad is by international Paris agreement in which Turkey is also included. If the design passes 6 months for application abroad, it is not accepted as new, therefore, the design is rejected since it will not meet the “innovation” criterion, the first of the patent requirements.
For a right holder who wants to internationally protect the design of which he/she made the application in Turkey, three ways are available;
The most important thing in international design applications is well-known relevant country practices and international practices. By international agreements, attorneys of one country cannot trade in another country. But if you want to trade in another country, it is necessary to contact the attorney of that country and make transactions. The second important issue in this case is to know well the representative of the relevant country. Normally an attorney can be found online and works can be delivered to him. But all intellectual property rights are important and delivering work on such an important issue relying solely on the information on the websites can sometimes cause irrepressible damages.
