Abstract:

Over the course of history, individuals or companies have used symbols to distinguish their goods from others. From this point of view, it is possible to say that the manufacturer’s need to mark exists in every period. This situation was made controlled by the states by laws adopted in the 19th century by passing to a different dimension. It is very important in terms of the beginning of the same century brand protection. While the industrial revolution in Europe continues to have its effects, the Ottoman State has rapidly changed its way of production and aims to move from the lounge system to the factory. For this purpose, the intellectual and intellectual property conferences and trade exhibitions held in Europe have been carefully followed, and participation is provided if necessary. Immediately after the trademark laws issued in Britain and France, in the Ottoman State in 1871 was published "Mahsus Alamet-i Farikalara Dair Nizamname with Factory Ma'mulât". The name of these nissamname factories was renovated in 1888, with the same name being used as multiple. This brand name, which protects the brand in many ways, was sometimes changed in accordance with the conditions of the period, although it remained in force until 1965. The registration processes were first recorded in the Alamet-i Farika registers, and after 1931 the registration processes began to be published in the Official Property Journal due to the obligation of international agreements. When the data of the Alamet-i Farika Books, the Official Property Gazette and the Commercial Authority are examined to date, the number of cigarette brands is much higher than the number of other brands.
