Copyright

Preserving the Essence of Creativity

Copyright is the guardian of creative expression, protecting the intellectual fruits of human endeavor.

In Turkey, copyright laws are primarily governed by the 5846 numbered Turkish Copyright Law, ensuring the safeguarding of literary, artistic, and other creative works.

Understanding Copyright in Turkey

The scope of copyright protection in Turkey encompasses a broad range of intellectual and artistic creations, including literary works, musical compositions, artistic creations, and cinematographic works. These works, as defined in Articles 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the Turkish Copyright Law, represent the diverse tapestry of human creativity.

In adherence to the principle of numerus clausus, copyright law categorizes works into four main categories, encompassing a myriad of sub-types. From books and musical compositions to cinematographic works and architectural designs, copyright protection extends to a wide array of creative expressions, irrespective of their mode or form of expression.
