It is examined under two separate headings in terms of the elements it covers. The first of these is copyright. Copyright refers to the ownership of intellectual and artistic works created by a person’s intellectual labor. This right is embodied by the creation of the work without any application requirement. The second title is industrial property rights. Under this heading, there are applications such as a trademark that allows us to distinguish commercial products from others, a patent that includes an invention and a tool or technology that can be used in the industrial field in the ownership of the manufacturer, and industrial design that creates the situation that the features that will distinguish it from similar products in terms of shape and appearance belong to the manufacturer.
With some international agreements, intellectual property rights are bound by common rules by the states parties. This means minimizing the different situations caused by territorial protection. With the existence of agreements to which our country is a party in this regard, it is possible for foreigners who are members of the states party to these agreements to provide protection in our country, and for citizens of our country to provide this protection in foreign countries. In addition, another situation related to international agreements in Intellectual Property Law is that international agreements are more prominent in this field of law.
