As a Turkish and European Patent Attorney and mechanical engineer, I am founding partner of SIMAJ, I have the privilege of advising clients on a board of spectrum of patent related matters, including prosecuting patent applications, conducting freedom-to-operate and patentability analysis, and providing strategic portfolio development advice, for over 30 years. My focus on developing new methods of providing our services to clients means I like to think outside the box: I like to think about how we can build better relationships with our clients and help them in ways traditional lawyers don’t.

As a Turkish Trademark Attorney and Partner at SIMAJ since 1997, my practice spans the full spectrum of intellectual property protection, including trademark prosecution and enforcement, design registration, and contract advisory work related to the commercialization of IP rights. I regularly assist clients with developing and managing their global trademark and design portfolios, advising on filing strategies, as well as drafting and negotiating licensing, co-existence, and assignment agreements.

As a Turkish Trademark Attorney and Partner at SIMAJ, I advise clients across the full spectrum of IP rights since 1997, with a particular focus on trademark protection, enforcement, and portfolio strategy. My practice extends to domain name dispute resolution and negotiating and drafting complex licensing agreements. This comprehensive approach allows us to offer clients holistic and forward-thinking IP solutions that align with their commercial goals.

As the General Manager and Patent Department Manager at SIMAJ, I bring both administrative oversight and deep technical insight to our Patent and Design departments. My role involves not only managing and coordinating the strategic direction of these departments but also ensuring the consistent delivery of high-quality legal and technical services across all aspects of IP protection, drawing on over 25 years of experience. My experience as the Head of Patent Department at the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office has given me a strong understanding of institutional procedures and regulatory frameworks, which I now integrate into our client-focused practice. Moreover, I am able to reflect this experience into my work in freedom to operate analyses, patent prosecution, drafting and filing, licensing, claim charts and analysis, novelty, infringement and invalidation searches. This comprehensive approach enables us to provide our clients with holistic and forward-looking intellectual property solutions aligned with their business objectives.
