PUBLICATIONS

APPLIED TRADEMARK LAW

Publisher: Adalet Yayınları  ISBN: 9786257467650

One of the leading areas of the ongoing ‘one step forward, two back’ integration efforts with the EU is Intellectual Property Rights legislation and implementation. As a matter of fact, the latest legal regulations protecting industrial property rights have been shaped with this understanding, as stated in the justification of Law No. 6769. The Industrial Property Law No. 6769 was prepared with the expectation of serving the integration visions, based on the EU’s Directive on Harmonization of Member State Trademark Laws No. 2015/2436 and the Community Trademark Regulation No. 2017/1001.

PATENT AND UTILITY MODEL LAW

Publisher: Seçkin Yayınları  ISBN: 9789750273384

The work titled “Patent and Utility Model Law in the Light of the Industrial Property Law” is the first book published on patent and utility model applications in our country within the scope of both the Decree Law No. 551 and the Industrial Property Law No. 6769. This work, with its simple and easily understandable language, covers basic concepts, starting from the relations of concepts in neighboring disciplines with patent law, patentability conditions, entitlement, registration and objection procedures, scope of protection, infringement, compensation and invalidity cases, right of action of the injured, and the Supreme Court of Appeals. Includes jurisprudence.

INTELLECTUAL AND ARTISTIC WORKS LAW IN PRACTICE

Publisher: Seçkin Yayınları  ISBN: 9789750277405

This book explains the principles of protecting material and moral rights over thought/information transfer and artistic products such as visual, audio, literary literature, philosophy, music, cinema, theatre, photography, painting and sculpture, which we briefly call “copyrights”. Protection of copyrights is an essential and motivating element for transferring social heritage to future generations, increasing common sensitivities in social life, creating new scientific and technical developments, in other words, establishing the cycle of survival/creation. Let’s not forget that “if copyright is not protected, it will perish”.

UNFAIR COMPETITION CASES

Publisher: Seçkin Yayınları  ISBN: 9789750268861

In order to ensure economic development in countries where a market economy is implemented, individuals, companies and firms involved in market formation must operate within the rules of fair competition. Otherwise, the good ones cannot survive. In other words, the bad beats the good and after a while the bad one cannot survive; economic development is negatively affected. Countries that implement competition rules have a much healthier and more productive economy. This understanding is the basic philosophy of competition law rules. The book is updated with the latest case law and offers plenty of practical information.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW COURSES

The implementation of the Industrial Property Law No. 6769, which has been built on the efforts to comply with the TRIPS Agreement and the EU Trademark Law Directive, which determine universal intellectual property rights standards, has formed the basis for the preparation of our book. It should be acknowledged that the accumulation created in this field by the 11th HD of the Supreme Court of Appeals and the relevant criminal chambers in particular has shaped our Trademark Law.
