Applying for a patent is an exciting process, especially if you have a new idea or invention. However, this process can also be quite complex. This is where you need a resource to guide you. In this article, we will explain the patent application process, fees, and consulting tips as if we were chatting over coffee with a friend. Ready? Let’s get started!
First, what is a patent application? Simply put, a patent is a document that protects your invention. This document prevents others from using your invention without permission. So why is it important? Because you wouldn’t want someone else to steal the idea you’ve worked hard on, right?
As TÜRKPATENT points out, filing a patent application is the first step to commercializing and protecting your invention. This process provides effective protection both nationally and internationally.
The patent application process consists of several stages. First, you need to determine whether your invention is patentable. This usually starts with a preliminary search. Checking whether your invention has already been patented by someone else is one of the most important steps in the process.
A preliminary search is conducted to determine whether your invention is innovative. At this stage, TÜRKPATENT databases and other international patent databases are scanned. You may want to read our comprehensive guide on this topic: Patent Application Preliminary Search Guide.
After the preliminary search, the application file needs to be prepared. This file includes a detailed description of your invention, technical drawings, and patent claims. At this stage, getting support from a patent consultant can simplify the process.
Once the application file is prepared, the application is submitted to TÜRKPATENT. During the application, the application fee is paid. For up-to-date fee information, you can contact us.
Your application is examined by TÜRKPATENT. During this examination process, it is evaluated whether your invention meets the patentability criteria. If there are any deficiencies or objections, corrections are made during this process.
After the examination process is successfully completed, the patent registration certificate is issued. This document shows that your invention is officially protected.
Patent registration fees are one of the most curious topics in the application process. Fees vary depending on the type of application, the number of classes, and other factors. For example, in 2025, the fee for a single-class trademark application was set at 2350 TL. However, we recommend contacting us for up-to-date fee information.
