Zeynep Seda Alhas, Atahan Erkul, Kendal Basut and Atacan Yılmaz Delivered a Training at the Customs General Directorate Event in Bursa

We had the privilege of participating in the General Directorate of Customs’ IP training event held in Bursa on February 04, 2026, representing more than two dozen clients, with the contributions of our Partner Zeynep Seda Alhas, Senior Associates Atahan Erkul and Kendal Basut, and Associate Atacan Yılmaz.

During the training, we presented genuine and counterfeit products, engaging directly with officials to demonstrate practical differences and discuss how effective collaboration can strengthen enforcement efforts.

In addition to customs officers, the participation of law enforcement units, including police and gendarmerie, further enriched the discussions and added significant value to the event, contributing to a more comprehensive approach within the Turkish IP ecosystem. The exchange of practical, on-the-ground experience made the training particularly impactful.

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to the General Directorate of Customs (gümrükler genel müdürlüğünü etiketleyebiliriz) for leading and coordinating this well-organized initiative.

As Gün + Partners, we strongly believe that such multi-stakeholder collaborations play a key role in strengthening anti-counterfeiting efforts in practice.
