Non-use Provision

Supreme Court of Turkey yesterday cancelled the last provision about non-use cancellations. This was due to the same reason as before. According to Supreme Court the provisions which limit fundemental rights cannot be regulated under Decree Law. Therefore this provision has been also cancelled. Since the new Industrial Property Law is recently passed from Parliament some may think this would not be a problem. However, there are numerous pending cased based on this provision. Therefore there is doubt what the consequences will be for pending cases. This will probably be decided soon by Court and we will see the outcome and will let clients know about this.
