Intellectual and Industrial Property Law is the branch of law that defines and protects the financial and moral rights of authors and other related persons who create intellectual and artistic works, regulates the conditions for the utilization of these products, and prescribes sanctions for the violation of these conditions. Within this framework, intellectual property law protects copyrights and industrial property rights.
Individuals whose intellectual and industrial property rights are violated can seek their protection through different types of lawsuits. These include: determination lawsuits (tespit davaları) to establish the existence or non-existence of a right; actions for the prevention and cessation of infringement (tecavüzün önlenmesi ve durdurulması davaları) to stop unlawful interventions against these rights; and compensation lawsuits (tazminat davaları) filed to redress damages arising from these violations are examples of intellectual and industrial property lawsuits. As Celil Aktaş Law Firm, we represent our clients in lawsuits concerning Intellectual and Industrial Property law.
Due to the importance of intellectual and industrial rights, certain crimes have been established to protect these rights. In this context, crimes regulated in Articles 71 and 72 of the Law on Intellectual and Artistic Works and crimes regulated in Article 30 of Law No. 6769 on Industrial Property have been introduced. The protection of intellectual and industrial rights through criminal law is closely related to Economic Criminal Law and is one of the areas in which Celil Aktaş Law Firm specializes.
