Abstract

Intellectual property is briefly the knowledge of somebody

owns that gained importance in today’s business strategy. A

patent is a license of exclusive rights granted by a state to the

holder to an invention, design or process for a period of time.

Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in the field of cosmetics are

often; patents, trademarks and trade secrets include formulations

and production techniques. Research & Development (R&D),

innovation, technology transfer, patent, establishing quality

systems, branding and benchmarking are the important factors

that must be considered for sustainability of the cosmetic sector.

In the scope of sustainable economy and thus economic growth

of a country R&D, Research & Technological Development

(RTD) and innovation activities need to be encouraged and

supported by effectively protected IPR systems. Negative effects of

infringements of IPR to consumers, right owners, legal businesses

and states can be listed basically as health risks arising from using

unsafe products, decreasing the encouragement of innovation,

loss of jobs and money. Especially determining the critical steps

in the life cycle of products and checking their legality is efficient

at fighting with counterfeiting and IPR crimes. Cooperation of

competent authorities and right owners has great importance

of detecting infringements of intellectual property rights and

counterfeit products and conducting an effective legal process.

Kozmetikte Fikri Mülkiyet ve Patent

Abstract

Fikri mülkiyet kısaca kişinin sahip olduğu bilgidir ve günümüzde

iş stratejisinde önem kazanmıştır. Patent, devletin, sahibine

belli bir süre için bir icat, tasarım veya işlem vermiş olduğu

münhasır hakların lisansıdır. Kozmetik alanında Fikri Mülkiyet

Hakları (FMH) genellikle formüller ve üretim teknikleri içeren

patentler, ticari markalar ve ticari sırlardır. Kozmetik sektörünün

sürdürülebilirliği için göz önüne alınması gereken önemli

faktörler Araştırma ve Geliştirme (Ar-Ge), yenilik, teknoloji

transferi, patent, kalite sistemlerinin kurulması, markalaşma

ve kıyaslamadır. Sürdürülebilir ekonomi ve dolayısıyla bir

ülkenin ekonomik büyümesi kapsamında, Ar-Ge, Araştırma

ve Teknolojik Geliştirme (Ar-TGe) ve inovasyon faaliyetlerinin

desteklenmesi ve etkin bir şekilde korunan FMH sistemleri

ile teşvik edilmesi gerekir. FMH ihlallerinin tüketicilere,

hak sahiplerine, yasal işletmelere ve devlete olumsuz etkileri

temelde güvensiz ürünler kullanmaktan doğan sağlık riskleri,

yenilik/inovasyon alanında motivasyonun azalması, iş kaybı ve

para kaybı olarak sıralanabilir. Ürünlerin yaşam döngüsünde

özellikle kritik basamakların belirlenerek yasallığının kontrol

edilmesi sahtecilik ve FMH suçları ile mücadelede etkili

olacaktır. Fikri mülkiyet ihlallerinin, sahte ürünlerin tespiti

ve yasal işlemlerin etkili bir şekilde sürdürülmesi için hak

sahiplerinin ve yetkili otoritelerin
