1986 (IZMIR), 1996 (ISTANBUL)
UNSEVER was founded as a Law Firm in Izmir in 1986 by Ferhat İlker Ünsever, and moved to Istanbul in 1996, and up to now has been active at the same address.
UNSEVER provides real person, corporations and other legal entities in Istanbul, Antalya and Izmir and in the country with services in the areas of legal structuring, law consultancy and litigation in various sectors, particularly tourism.

UNSEVER is not the name of a person but the name of a “team” which covers all of the members constituting it.
UNSEVER has a special logo, the two line towards up stands for the different activities conducted as attorney and consultant, adjacency of UNSEVER and its clients and upward movement; the colour red represents effective and dynamic work.

TRADEMARK
Trademarks may consist of any signs like words, including personal names, figures, colors, letters, numbers, sounds and the shape of goods or their packaging, provided that such signs are capable of distinguishing the goods or services of one undertaking from those of other undertakings and being represented on the register in a manner to determine the clear and precise subject matter of the protection afforded to its proprietor.
Previously trademark rights in Turkey were protected by Decree-Law No. 556 on the Protection of Trademark. But trademark rights have been protected by Industrial Property Law No. 6769 since 22.12.2016.
As stated in the first article the purpose of this Code is to protect the rights relating to trademark, geographical signs, design, patent, utility model and traditional product names and thus to contribute to technological, economic and social progress.
Trademarks must be registered before Turkish Patent and Trademark Office in order to benefit from the national / international protection stipulated by our legislation.
As is known, the application and registration procedures of “Trademark”, “Geographical Indication” and “Industrial Design” are carried out through “Trademark Attorneys” who are registered in the Turkish Patent and Trademark Attorney’s Registry.
Since 2014, Ünsever has been providing consultancy to its clients on "Trademark", "Geographical Indication" and "Industrial Design" and representing its clients in the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office.
