Patent application and registration are critical steps for protecting and commercializing innovative ideas. Today, especially in a period where technological advancements are rapidly progressing, obtaining patent rights provides a significant advantage for businesses and individuals. In this guide, you can find detailed information about the patent application process, patent protection, and patent registration. Additionally, you will learn how these processes are carried out in line with the vision and mission of the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TÜRKPATENT).
A patent is a right that provides protection to the owner of an invention for a certain period. This protection prevents the unauthorized use, production, or sale of the invention. Patent rights encourage the commercialization of innovative ideas and provide inventors with a competitive advantage.
Especially by 2025, technological advancements and digital transformation have further increased the importance of patent applications. Businesses are seizing the opportunity to stand out in the market by protecting their innovative products and services.
The patent application requires a specific process and steps. Here are the key steps to consider when applying for a patent:
Not every invention can be patented. Your invention must be new, surpass the known state of the art, and be applicable in industry. Inventions that do not meet these criteria cannot benefit from patent protection.
Before applying for a patent, it is important to research whether similar inventions have been previously patented. This research reduces the risk of your application being rejected. Databases of institutions such as TÜRKPATENT and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) can be used for these searches.
A patent application requires a file containing technical details. This file should include a description of the invention, technical drawings, and patent claims. During this process, seeking support from a professional patent attorney can be beneficial.
The prepared application file is submitted to TÜRKPATENT. For detailed information on current fees and documents during the application process, you can contact Markanet.
TÜRKPATENT examines the application from both technical and legal perspectives. During this process, the applicant may be requested to provide additional information or documents. Once the examination process is completed, the application is accepted, and the patent is registered.
Patent protection is valid for 20 years from the application date. During this period, the patent holder can protect their legal rights against individuals or organizations that use the invention without permission. However, patent protection is not international. A patent obtained in Turkey is only valid within the borders of Turkey. For international protection, an international patent application can be made through WIPO.
TÜRKPATENT is the authorized institution in Turkey for the acceptance, examination, and registration of patent applications. The institution's vision is to develop Turkey's intellectual property portfolio and contribute to the innovation ecosystem. Its mission is to ensure the effective protection and commercialization of industrial property rights.
In addition to patent applications, TÜRKPATENT also handles the registration of trademarks, designs, and geographical indications. The institution aims to protect Turkey's intellectual property rights at a global level through international collaborations.
Once the patent registration is completed, the patent holder can commercially evaluate their invention. They can transfer the usage rights of the invention to third parties through licensing agreements. Additionally, in case of patent infringement, they can protect their rights through legal means.
