About ARNO IP
We look at every matter as it would look in court.
Over twelve years in intellectual property, we have assisted a wide range of clients, foreign and local, corporate and private, with their IP matters.
Beyond prosecution, our litigation background lets us analyse each matter from the angle of a possible dispute, so the steps we take today still hold if the case goes further.
Today our watch work runs on Mantix, a system we built ourselves, so copycat filings are caught early and handled by people who have opposed hundreds of them.
Uğur Yurdakul graduated in economics in 2012 and has worked in intellectual property since 2014. He started in business development, rose to senior business development manager, and in 2021 co-founded his own IP practice. Since then he has worked through every stage of IP matters and advised attorneys on them. His focus is trademark oppositions: nearly every opposition he has assessed as winnable has succeeded. He lives in Finland, works in Turkish and English, and is learning Finnish.

Why Nemrut
Guardians on the mountain
In 62 BC, King Antiochus I of Commagene built his tomb-sanctuary on the summit of Mount Nemrut, 2,134 metres up in south-eastern Türkiye. He set colossal seated gods around it, eight to nine metres tall, with a lion and an eagle on either side as guardians.
The gods carry Greek and Persian names side by side, because his small kingdom stood between two worlds. Earthquakes have since brought the heads down, and they rest on the terraces today. The tomb itself has never been found.
We took them as our emblem for the same reasons: guardians who keep watch, a practice that stands between two markets, and work that protects what others have built. Each page of this site has one of them at the door.
