The pattern design developed within the framework of applied design studies conducted by the Department of Graphic Design at Kastamonu University Faculty of Fine Arts and Design has been awarded a design registration certificate by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office.

The design prepared by 4th-year student Aleyna Atalar under the supervision of Assist.Prof.Dr. Sofya C. Canbolat from the Faculty of Fine Arts and Design was registered by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office for a period of 5 years.

Our Rector stated, "The certification of the original designs produced by our students under academic guidance demonstrates the practical foundation of our educational approach." These works, which combine our cultural values with contemporary design language, make a significant contribution to the brand value of our university.”
