REVIEW OF LEGISLATION
Follow-up questions by the United States1 posed to Turkey
Addendum
By means of a communication from the Permanent Delegation of the United States, dated
28 November 2000, the Secretariat has received th e following follow-up questions addressed to
Turkey.
_______________
1. In response to US question 4, Turkey provided thorough information on the way in which the
owner of a well-known trademark can prevent registration of a confusingly similar trademark.  We
would appreciate additional information regarding the way in which the owner of a well-knowntrademark can prevent the unauthorized use of its trademark or service mark:  (i) in connection with
same or similar goods or services if such use is likely to cause confusion;  and (ii) in connection with
dissimilar goods or services if such use might imply a connection between those goods or services and
those of the owner of the well-known mark if th e interests of the owner of the well-known mark
would be likely to be damaged.
2. In response to US question 19, Turkey indicates how it protects from disclosure data
submitted to obtain marketing approval of agricultural chemical and pharmaceutical products.  Pleaseexplain if and how its law prevents relevant Ministries from relying on earlier submitted data of one
party to approve another party's request for mark eting approval of its agricultural chemical or
pharmaceutical product which is bioequivalent to the product of the first party.
