A QUICK LOOK TO THE HISTORY FROM AYFER BERKKAM

“Easier said than done, we started to work exactly 34 years ago on the date of 03.09.1987 in the capital of Turkey Ankara in a sector which did not have a value and importance at its deserved level during those dates, which was not quite known and we have come to these days as a result of devoted works by overcoming hard periods.”

“In these days, there was not trademark and patent attorneyship yet.”

The sector consisted of three feet, one feet of the sector was State Institution i.e. relevant unit of the Ministry of Industry in these days, other feet was right owners contributing development of technology and industry and needing protection of their works by State and private sector representing right owners, i.e. persons and companies working relating to Intellectual and Industrial Property Rights like us.
