The patent registration process can be an exciting journey, especially if you have a new invention. However, taking the right steps along the way can make your job easier. So, how does this process work? Let’s discuss this over a cup of coffee.
First of all, what is a patent? A patent is a document that grants the owner of an invention the right to protect their invention for a certain period of time. This means that a product or method you have invented cannot be used by others without your permission. This not only protects the value of your invention but also provides you with a commercial advantage.
As TÜRKPATENT has stated, patents play a vital role in protecting and commercializing innovative ideas. Especially in the fields of technology and industry, patents significantly contribute to the economic development of countries.
Applying for a patent may seem complicated at first glance. However, as you proceed step by step, you will realize that it is actually a very systematic process.
Conduct Research: The first step is to research whether your invention is truly new. A search in TÜRKPATENT's database will help you see if a similar invention has been registered before. This prevents loss of time and effort.
Prepare the Application File: You need to prepare a file containing a detailed description of your invention, technical drawings, and prototypes if available. This file should prove how innovative your invention is.
Submit the Application: You can submit the prepared file to TÜRKPATENT. Thanks to online application options, this process is now quite easy. After submitting your application, an examination process begins by the institution.
Examination and Registration: Your application is examined by experts. If everything is in order, your patent is registered, and you are issued a patent registration certificate.
Patent registration fees are one of the most curious aspects of the application process. Fees may vary depending on the type of application, its scope, and the length of the process. For example, in 2025, the fee for a single-class trademark application has been set at 2350 TL. However, these fees may change from year to year. For up-to-date fee information, you can contact us.
During the patent application process, working with a consultant can be very beneficial, especially for those doing it for the first time. Consultants help ensure that your application file is complete and accurate. Additionally, they guide you through any technical and legal issues you may encounter during the process.
