In favour of increased liability for registrars
Posted on 14 June 2017
Registrars and registries play an important role in operating domain names. Even though they do not register domain names maliciously and with intent to cause prejudice to a trademark, they nevertheless are not required to review registration applications before reserving the names.

New features introduced by the new Turkish Industrial Property Code
Posted on 14 June 2017
Turkey has just adopted an Industrial Property Code, and it has come into force on January 10, 2017. Prior to that date, Turkish Industrial Property rights were regulated by ordinances dating back to 1995. These ordinances were progressively quashed by the Turkish Constitutionnal Court because the area had yet to be shaped by the legislative channel, which had remained silent thus far. The last ordinance was quashed on January 6, 2017. In this context, the Code has finally filled a legal void and provided a solution to those rulings. However, its’ Article 1 provides for a smooth transitional period where the ordinances will continue to apply to filings until said Code enters into force.
