The New Turkish Trademark Law

1995

Since 1980, the Turkish economy has gradually gained a liberal character through the elimination of government intervention in the economy and the removal of exchange restrictions and customs barriers. These changes in economic policy are related to Turkey's desire to foster closer economic links with the European Union (“EU” or “Community”). Relations between Turkey and the European Union take place within the framework of an Association Agreement (“Ankara Agreement”). The Ankara Agreement was signed on September 12, 1963, and became effective on January 1, 1973. The Ankara Agreement provides the possibility of Turkey's eventual membership in the European Union. Undoubtedly, relations with the European Union have had an important impact on recent reforms in the fields of intellectual and industrial property rights in Turkey. Following Turkey's application for full Community membership, the necessity for reform in the field of trademark law, as in other fields of inte...

Special Issue on Turkey - UNISCI Discussion Papers, No 23, 2010

UNISCI Discussion Papers, No 23, 2010

EDITOR’S NOTE / NOTA EDITORIAL by Antonio Marquina, UNISCI Director This issue of the journal, coordinated by Professor Mustafa Aydin, Rector of Kadir Has University can be considered as an important contribution to the knowledge of the present Turkish Foreign Policy. Several years ago UNISCI had the opportunity to contrast in Istanbul its views on Turkish Foreign and Security Policy with the views of several relevant scholars selected by Professor Aydin. The outcome was the book entitled “Turkish Foreign and Security Policy. Its Environs in Euroasia and the Middle East”. It was published in December 2006. Several of the Turkish co-authors make here another contribution to the topic. It can be said that in four years time we have assisted to a sea change in the Turkish Foreign Policy. First, it should be noted the changes introduced by the AKP party and the diminishing role of the Army in internal and foreign policies and its growing lack of cohesion. In the second place the implications of the democratization process in a crescent process of internal Islamization. In the third place the new foreign policy design, “new Ottoman”, made by foreign minister Davutoglu, that, according to different articles, can be qualified sometimes as “grandiose”, and that implies a clear depart from the traditional Turkish Foreign Policies of the nineties and the beginning of this decade. The relationship with the neighbours, becoming an important player in the Caucasus, the populist criteria, the new approach to the Middle East, the possible implications and involvement in inter-Arab and intra-Arab-Iran disputes, the lack of advances in the Armenian dossier, the difficult negotiations on Cyprus, the asymmetries in the Turkish-US relationship, the implications of the energy agreements and finally the aspiration of being a member of the EU in the new internal and external context are all interrelated issues in the new Turkish Foreign Policy. Sometimes, the articles show, it is difficult to find the internal coherence of some Turkish movements and approaches, even the theoretical approaches behind them. These critical analyses contribute to open the horizon to the reader in order to understand the deep changes affecting the Turkish environment and the difficult adaptation process that Turkey has to manage, balancing East and West orientations in a clear departure from the Kemal Ataturk vision. Nevertheless, Turkey remains an important player. This journal issue includes also an article on Central Asia, given the historic importance of the Kazakh Chairmanship of the OSCE. Finally, I would like to give my thanks to Professor Mustafa Aydin and his brilliant Turkish collaborators for giving us the opportunity to know different approaches to the present Turkish Foreign Policy and enlightening us on the subject.
