Brands are the identifying marks used to distinguish products and services that are similar or similar to each other while offering a particular product or service. The brand of a product or service consists of words, numbers, letters and shapes.
Laws provide trademark protection for individuals or organizations that identify and use a brand for their products or services. In order to benefit from this protection, the trademark must be registered.
If a trademark that has not yet been registered but is used is to be registered by a person who is not a right owner, even if it is registered, the real trademark owner may object to this situation and file a lawsuit and cancel the registration process. The important point to be considered when determining a brand is that the brand desired to be used should be different from other brands.
The protection period of a registered trademark is ten years starting from the application date. Before the expiry of this period, the brand is renewed in ten-year periods.
These announced legal regulations are included in the Decree Law on the Protection of Trademarks.
Take a look around you and you will see thousands of brands and millions of products. Most of them are patents.is from. If a company presents a new product to the market, it immediately obtains the patent of these products by applying to the necessary institutions. In this case, they are solely responsible for the further production, distribution and importation of the product in question. It is not possible to copy and sell a patented product by others without permission. However, there are no malicious people. They imitate patented products and put them up for sale for the sake of unjust gain.
For example, piracy of a best-selling book is a form of corruption. Counterfeit products are generally of lower quality and the brands of the counterfeit product are used exactly. This is how these malicious people, who take advantage of consumers’ trust in big brands, make money.
The presence of counterfeit products on the market in this way poses a serious threat to big brands. Because those who buy and use these goods unknowingly will blame the real company for low quality. This, in turn, will affect the sales of the real firm.
Companies that produce and sell imitation products generally make small changes on the brand in order to protect themselves. Thanks to these manipulations, which are not noticed at first glance and mislead the consumer, they prevent lawsuits against them. In order to reveal this situation, the brand patent research studies carried out by private research institutions or private detective offices are important.
In these studies, patented product counterfeiting is examined in every aspect and companies that provide unfair profits are revealed. Very successful results are obtained in identifying the persons or organizations that abuse the brands, taking the necessary penalties and eliminating them.
Private research institutions have expert and trained employees to find fakes of goods and services whose brands are registered and patented in the market, to reveal counterfeit production facilities, and to determine the places where these products are produced, stored, stored and marketed.
The patent owner may prevent third parties from producing, selling, using or importing the product subject to the patent without permission. Unless the patent owner gives permission, the product cannot be partially or completely imitated. It cannot sell, distribute and trade these products by imitating them.
