Turkey has appealed against the EUIPO decision annulling the “TurkAegean” trademark, which was initially registered by Turkey’s Tourism Promotion and Development Agency. The appeal was filed just before the deadline, with Turkey having until May 10 to justify its appeal. Legal experts believe the initial ruling, which found the trademark misleading due to its geographical connotations, is solid, reducing the likelihood of Turkey’s success.
