Ülkemizde 27.06.1995 tarihli ve 554 sayılı Endüstriyel Tasarımla-rın Korunması ile ilgili Kanun Hükmünde Kararname ile başlayan tasa-rımların tescil yolu ile korunması, 22.12.2016 tarihli 6769 Sayılı SınaiMülkiyet Kanunu ile son halini alarak günümüze gelmiştir. 6769 SayılıSınai Mülkiyet Kanununa göre tasarımlar, yeni ve ayırt edici niteliğesahip olması şartıyla Kanunla sağlanan haklar kapsamında korunabil-mektedir. Kanuna göre, bir tasarımın bilgilenmiş kullanıcı üzerinde bı-raktığı genel izlenimin tasarımın kamuya ilk sunulduğu tarihten önce,kamuya sunulmuş herhangi bir tasarımın aynı kullanıcı üzerinde yarattı-ğı genel izlenimden farklı olması halinde bu tasarımın ayırt edici niteliğesahip olduğu kabul edilmektedir. Kanun, ayırt edici niteliğin değerlendi-rilmesinde, tasarımcının tasarımı geliştirmede sahip olduğu seçenek öz-gürlüğünün derecesinin dikkate alınması gerektiğini belirtilmiş ama se-çenek özgürlüğü kavramı ve kapsama alanı tam olarak ifade edilmemiştir.Bu çalışma, 6769 Sayılı Sınai Mülkiyet Kanununda yer alan “tasa-rımcının seçenek özgürlüğü” kavramının Endüstri Ürünleri Tasarımımeslek disiplini çerçevesinde irdelenmesi ve bu kavram kapsamında uyuşmazlık davalarının en önemli basamağı olan ayırt edici nitelik de-ğerlendirmesi sürecinde görev alan bilirkişilere yol göstermesi amacı ilehazırlanmıştır.
