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.

Greece has won a significant legal victory against Turkey at the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), successfully challenging the “Turkaegean” trademark. The ruling prevents Turkey from using the term for tourism promotion within the EU.
Greece has successfully blocked Turkey’s attempt to register the “Turkaegean” trademark in the EU, with the EU Intellectual Property Office siding with Greece. This legal victory, led by Greece’s Ministry of Development and the Industrial Property Organization, protects Greece’s national and economic interests and highlights the ongoing regional tensions.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has requested further clarifications from Turkey regarding its use of the term “TurkAegean” for tourism promotion. Greece raised concerns that the trademark reflects geopolitical ambitions related to the Aegean region. Turkey’s Tourism Promotion and Development Agency has been instructed to provide evidence supporting the choice of the term, with potential sanctions looming if it fails to comply. Legal experts anticipate that the case could take several more years to resolve.
