Abstract
MARKANIN DEVRİ VE DEVİR HÜKMÜ DOĞURAN DİĞER İŞLEMLER ÖZET “Markanın Devri ve Devir Hükmü Doğuran Diğer Hukuki İşlemler” konulu çalışmamızda, özellikle uluslararası anlaşmalar, 556 Sayılı KHK ile Marka Kanun Tasarısı’nın ilgili hükümleri Yargıtay kararları ışığı altında çeşitli sorunları dikkate alarak bilimsel bir şekilde incelenmiştir. Markanın devrinin geçerlilik şartları hem Kararname hem de diğer mevzuat hükümleri dikkate alınarak belirlenmiştir. Devrin marka siciline tescilinin hukuki niteliği ve sonuçlarına ayrıntılı olarak yer verilmiştir. Ayrıca incelememiz sırasında markanın devri için getirilen yazılı sözleşme şartının bazı istisnaları olduğu görülmüştür. Bunlardan sadece iki tanesi -mahkeme kararıyla devir ve ticari işlemenin aktif ve pasifiyle birlikte devir- Kararname’de düzenlenmiştir. Ancak diğer kanun maddeleri ile getirilen özel düzenlemeler bulunmaktadır ki, bunlar da markanın devri hükmünü doğurmaktadır. Markanın devrine, diğer kanunlar ile getirilen sınırlamalar tespit edilmiş ve incelenmiştir. MarkKHK’de düzenlenen mahkeme kararıyla devrin uygulama koşullarına ve Yargıtay uygulamalarına yer verilmiştir. Marka devrinin, şirket birleşme ve bölünmeleri yoluyla geçişinin özelliği nedeniyle TTK Tasarısı’ndaki hükümler de incelenmiştir. Son olarak incelememizde ulaştığımız sonuçlar ve önerilerimiz sonuç bölümde ayrıntılı olarak belirtilmiştir. Assignment of Trademark and Other Methods of Effective Protection of Commercial Interests
In this study titled “Assignment of Trademark and Other Methods of Effective Protection of Commercial Interests”; international treaties, Decree Law No. 556 and the Trademark Bill has been analyzed in light of the judgements of the Court of Appeal. We have determined the validity of the assignment of trademark regarding the Decree Law No. 556 and related legislation. We have studied in depth of the legal nature and consequences of recording the assignment with the Trademark Registry. Assignment of the trademark should be done in a written agreement. However, we concluded that there are some exceptions for this obligation. Although only two exceptions – court order for assignment and assignment of the commercial enterprise with current and non-current assets - are regulated in Decree Law No. 556, other legislative acts include special provisions that cause the same effects of assignment of trademark. These exceptions has been examined. We have taken a look to the conditions of the court order for assignment and the decisions of the Court of Appeal. The assignment of trademark by merging or dissociation of enterprises has special characteristics. Therefore, we also have analyzed the draft of the Turkish Commercial Act. Finally, our conclusions and proposals can be found in the Conclusion section.
