Court partly rules against Marti Technologies (MRT) ride-hailing service

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Marti Technologies, Inc. reports that the Istanbul 14th Commercial Court of First Instance has partially ruled against its subsidiary’s ride-hailing business, finding that the ride-hailing service constitutes unfair competition under the Turkish Commercial Code. The court rejected requests to block access to the company’s website and mobile apps and found no unfair competition in its e-scooter and e-moped services, so all services, including ride-hailing, continue operating without interruption. Marti plans to appeal this decision to the Istanbul Regional Court of Appeals within the statutory two-week period after it receives the court’s reasoned decision.

Insights

Emerging-markets legal and regulatory analyst

Turkish court labels Marti’s ride-hailing as unfair competition, but operations continue and an appeal is planned.

The decision by the Istanbul 14th Commercial Court of First Instance that Marti’s ride-hailing service constitutes unfair competition introduces legal and regulatory uncertainty for this business line. However, the court declined to block access to Marti’s platforms and rejected claims against its e-scooter and e-moped services, so current operations remain intact.

The company intends to appeal the ruling to the Istanbul Regional Court of Appeals within two weeks of receiving the reasoned decision, which may extend the timeline before any final outcome. The impact on Marti’s business will depend on the appeal’s result and any potential remedies ordered under the Turkish Commercial Code.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

On June 24, 2026, the Istanbul 14^th Commercial Court of First Instance (the “Court of First Instance”) rendered its decision (Case No. 2024/768) regarding the unfair competition case brought by certain Turkish drivers’ and automobile trade associations against the ride-hailing business of Marti İleri Teknoloji A.Ş, a subsidiary of Marti Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”).

The Court partially granted the plaintiffs’ claims, holding that the Company’s ride-hailing service constitutes unfair competition under the Turkish Commercial Code. The Court rejected the plaintiffs’ request for an interim injunction to block access to the Company’s website and mobile applications, and rejected the plaintiffs’ claims relating to the Company’s e-scooter and e-moped services, finding that unfair competition had not been established with respect to those services. All of the Company’s services, including ride-hailing, two-wheeled electric vehicles, and delivery services, continue their operations uninterrupted.

The Company will appeal the Court of First Instance’s decision at the Istanbul Regional Court of Appeals within the statutory two-week period following receipt of the reasoned decision by the Court of First Instance. As of the date of this report, the reasoned decision has not been delivered to the Company.
