Turkish Copyright Law: A Comprehensive Handbook

Turkish Copyright Law: A Comprehensive Handbook This comprehensive handbook provides an in-depth and accessible guide to the legal framework governing intellectual and artistic works in Turkey. It is designed as an essential reference for international legal practitioners, academics, and researchers engaged in comparative law or cross-border intellectual property matters. At the core of this book is a meticulously prepared English translation of the consolidated Turkish Law No. 5846 on Intellectual and Artistic Works. The text incorporates all legislative amendments up to Law No. 7346 of December 2021, representing the most current consolidated framework as of January 2026. Rather than a strictly literal translation, the text prioritizes clarity and intelligibility, ensuring that complex statutory provisions regarding authorship, copyright protection, infringement, and enforcement are highly accessible to an English-speaking audience while faithfully preserving their legal meaning. Authored by legal expert Prof. Dr. Savas Bozbel, this handbook bridges the language gap in Turkish intellectual property law, offering a reliable, up-to-date, and practical resource for understanding the rights and obligations within the Turkish copyright system.
