Vircon Legal advises technology companies, content creators, brand owners, and investors on the full intellectual property lifecycle — from initial protection through commercialization, enforcement, and transfer at exit. Our practice covers trademarks, copyrights, patents, designs, trade secrets, and the IP-related due-diligence work that accompanies every M&A and financing transaction we handle.
For brand protection, we manage trademark portfolios across the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TPMK), the EUIPO Madrid Protocol filings, and direct national filings in key markets. We handle opposition and cancellation proceedings, and advise on enforcement strategies against bad-faith registrations and counterfeiters.
For technology-driven companies, we structure IP assignments from founders, contractors, and acquired teams; design open-source compliance programs; and draft the licensing arrangements (SaaS, software distribution, content licensing) that turn IP into commercial revenue. We also handle IP due diligence for venture rounds and acquisitions, identifying chain-of-title gaps before they become deal-breakers.
Our Intellectual Property practice includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Trademark registration before TPMK, EUIPO, and via Madrid Protocol
- Trademark opposition, cancellation, and enforcement
- Copyright protection and registration
- Patent strategy and portfolio coordination with patent agents
- Industrial design protection
- IP assignment agreements (founder, employee, contractor)
- Software and SaaS licensing agreements
