Firm overview

Kenaroğlu Avukatlik Bürosu was established in 2008 by Yasemin Kenaroğlu who qualified as an attorney at law in 2003 and a trademark and patent attorney in 2005. She has been active in all the firm’s practice areas since 2003.
The firm’s main office is ideally located in Istanbul, with a liaison office in Ankara – home to the Turkish Patent Office – and another in Izmir – western Turkey’s commercial centre. The firm is authorised and able to handle cases in the other cities and regions of the country as well.

Kenaroğlu’s team, consisting of attorneys at law, trademark and patent attorneys and support staff, is dedicated to providing the highest-quality litigation, enforcement, prosecution and counselling services in trademark, patent, design, domain name, copyright and unfair competition matters to local and international companies in a wide variety of industries, including automotive, fashion, media and entertainment, spirits, telecommunications, software, electronics, retail chains, pharmaceuticals and textile.

The team is widely known for its success in managing large-scale trademark portfolios before the Turkish Patent Office and for its achievements in litigation and enforcement cases before the Turkish civil and criminal IP courts.

Running its own investigation department is another asset helping the firm to provide full support to the clients in all areas of intellectual and industrial property rights.
In addition to the services that Kenaroğlu provides to its clients before the judicial and administrative authorities in Turkey, the firm also actively handles the trademark portfolios of local and international clients in the Middle East and Africa through its local partners in the region.

As a boutique law firm consisting of 20+ professionals practising IP law exclusively, Kenaroğlu’s depth of experience in the field creates a compelling value proposition for its demanding clients and their complex legal needs, and uniquely enables the team to provide constructive practical advice and creative solutions on a wide range of legal matters in the most responsive, competent, efficient and effective manner.

Kenaroğlu is an active member of INTA, MARQUES, the International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property and the International Federation of Intellectual Property Attorneys – among other associations. It is highly recommended by The Legal 500, Managing IP, IAM 1000 and WTR 1000 as one of the top-tier IP firms inTurkey.
