Our comprehensive services begin with a patentability assessment, where we evaluate whether your invention meets the criteria of novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability. We then conduct an extensive patent search to identify any prior art that could affect the uniqueness of your invention.
Our skilled team meticulously prepares your patent application, including detailed descriptions and precise claims. Once the application is filed with the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TURKPATENT), we navigate the examination process, addressing any queries and ensuring compliance with all legal requirements.
Following the examination, your application is published, allowing for any potential oppositions to be addressed. Upon successful resolution of any opposition, the TURKPATENT grants the patent, securing your exclusive rights for up to 20 years, contingent on the payment of annual maintenance fees.

A patent grants the inventor exclusive rights to their invention, preventing others from making, using, or selling the patented innovation without permission. In Turkey, patents are governed by the TURKPATENT, which ensures that patents meet the necessary legal requirements.
Steps for Patent Application and Registration
Patentability Assessment
- Before applying for a patent, it is crucial to determine if your invention is patentable. This involves assessing whether the invention is novel, involves an inventive step, and is industrially applicable.
Patent Search
- Conducting a thorough patent search helps in identifying existing patents and ensuring that your invention is unique. Our team can assist you in performing a detailed search to avoid any potential conflicts.
Preparation of Patent Application
- A well-drafted patent application is vital for a successful patent registration. Our experts will help you prepare a detailed description of your invention, including claims that define the scope of your patent rights.
Filing the Application
- Once the application is prepared, it is submitted to the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office. This includes providing necessary documentation and paying the required fees.
Examination Process
- The TURKPATENT conducts a formal examination to ensure that the application complies with all legal requirements. This may involve communicating with the applicant to address any issues or provide additional information.
Publication and Opposition
- After the examination, the application is published in the Official Patent Bulletin. Third parties have the opportunity to oppose the patent within a specified period.
Grant of Patent
- If there are no oppositions or if oppositions are resolved in favor of the applicant, the TURKPATENT grants the patent. The patent holder then has exclusive rights to the invention for up to 20 years from the filing date, subject to annual maintenance fees.
