How to Get a Patent? Application Guide, Process, and Fees

Getting a patent is one of the most effective ways to protect your innovative ideas. Especially for entrepreneurs, inventors, and companies conducting R&D studies, patent applications are of great importance to secure intellectual property rights. In this article, you will find detailed information on how to get a patent, patent application processes, the patent acquisition process, and patent fees. Additionally, by integrating the vision and mission of the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TÜRKPATENT) into the content, we will help you better understand the process.


What is a Patent and Why is it Important?

A patent is a document that grants the owner of an invention the right to commercial use for a certain period. This document prevents the unauthorized use of the invention by others and ensures the protection of innovative ideas. Obtaining a patent is a strategic step for companies looking to stand out in competitive markets.

In line with the National Technology Initiative, the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office carries out studies to protect and commercialize industrial property rights. The institution's vision is to contribute to Turkey's innovation ecosystem and play an effective role at the international level.


Requirements for a Patent Application

Before applying for a patent, you need to determine whether your invention is patentable. For an invention to be patentable, it must meet the following criteria:

  1. Novelty: The invention must be different from techniques known worldwide.
  2. Inventive Step: The invention should not be easily predictable by an expert in the relevant field.
  3. Industrial Applicability: The invention must be usable in an industrial field.

If you believe your invention meets these criteria, you can start the patent application process.


The Patent Acquisition Process: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Conduct Preliminary Research

Before applying for a patent, it is important to research whether similar inventions exist. You can conduct preliminary research through TÜRKPATENT's database or international sources (such as WIPO). This step reduces the risk of your application being rejected.

2. Prepare the Application File

The documents required for a patent application are: - Technical description of the invention, - Patent request form, - Abstract and description, - Claims (the parts of the invention you want to protect), - Drawings (if any).

3. Submit Your Application

You can submit your application to TÜRKPATENT online or in person. During the application, it is recommended to contact the institution for up-to-date information on patent fees.

4. Examination and Publication Process

After your application is received, TÜRKPATENT conducts a formal examination. Then, your invention is published in the official bulletin, and third parties gain the right to object. If there are no objections, the technical examination process begins.

5. Patent Registration Certificate

If your invention is deemed patentable after the technical examination, a patent registration certificate is issued. This document indicates that your invention is protected.


Types of Patents

There are three different types of patents in Turkey:

  1. Examined Patent: Offers the most comprehensive protection. Valid for 20 years.
  2. Non-Examined Patent: Obtained through a faster process but has a protection period of 7 years.
  3. Utility Model: Suitable for small-scale inventions. Valid for 10 years.

Patent Fees and Costs

Various fees are incurred during the patent application process. These fees vary depending on the type of application, examination process, and protection period. For up-to-date fee information and detailed cost analysis, you can contact Markanet.
