YOUR QUESTION

What if only some goods or services were refused?

A partial refusal requires a comparison of the refused wording with the accepted scope. Send the decision and the full list so we can review an appeal or a revised filing strategy.

DATE ESTIMATOR

Check an indicative date

Select the date shown in your document.

Calendar-month estimate only. Official notification, service rules, non-working days and any special procedure may change the final day. We confirm the deadline from the actual file; do not rely on this tool for filing.

THE NEXT STEP

Separate the refused goods from the surviving scope.

A partial refusal affects only specified goods or services. Review the rejected items, the grounds given by TÜRKPATENT and the scope left in the application before deciding whether an appeal is appropriate.

01

Map the decision

Identify the goods and services refused and those that remain.

02

Review the grounds

Assess the specific objection and available evidence for the disputed scope.

03

Choose the response

Discuss an appeal or a narrower commercial filing strategy.

TO START

Send the essentials.

The refusal decision, notification date, application number and list of goods or services. We can request further evidence after reviewing the matter.

Common questions

Does a partial refusal end the whole application?

A partial refusal concerns identified goods or services. The remaining scope and available challenge route should be checked against the decision.

Can an overseas attorney instruct you?

Yes. We work with foreign IP firms acting for their clients.

PRACTICAL SERVICE GUIDE

Partial refusal: separate the rejected scope from the remaining scope

A partial refusal calls for a precise comparison of the applied-for specification and the rejected items. The commercially important goods or services may not be identical to the full class heading. We identify what remains and what needs a response.

Decide which refused items matter to your business

Map the scope before choosing an action

For example, an application may cover two product groups while the decision rejects only one. List the refused items alongside the remaining items and identify which are commercially essential. This is an illustrative comparison, not a reported case or predicted outcome.

Is an appeal worth instructing?

The answer depends on the importance of the rejected items and the strength of the response. A surviving part does not make an appeal unnecessary, and a partial refusal does not mean every item needs to be challenged.

Documents to send for an assessment

  • Decision and notification
  • application number
  • original specification
  • refused items
  • commercial priorities
  • any cited earlier rights

What our representation covers

Map the refused goods or services, review the grounds and prepare the agreed response for the challenged part. We explain the distinction between a surviving scope and the part still in dispute.

Costs and the written quotation

The quotation depends on refused items, grounds, supporting records and the scope of the proposed challenge.

For partial trademark refusal appeals in turkey, confirm the specific filing or response task and documents to be reviewed. The agreed quotation identifies professional work, applicable official charges, translation needs, taxes and payment currency; later stages require separate instructions.

What happens after the instructed action?

Record the outcome against the specific items. Further work may concern an appeal, a revised filing strategy or monitoring the remaining application, depending on the record.

Can the class number alone show what remains protected?

No. Compare the exact goods and services wording in the application and decision. An accepted class number does not mean that every originally requested item in that class survives.
