Patent Application and Registration Process
The patent application is a crucial step to ensure the legal protection of inventions. During the application process, the invention must meet criteria such as novelty, industrial applicability, and an inventive step beyond the current state of the art. We manage all stages of your patent application process from start to finish. We guide you through the preparation of your application, obtaining the required documents, and submitting the application to the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office. Additionally, we provide necessary responses during the evaluation process and meticulously follow up on the registration process.
Utility Model Application and Registration Process
A utility model offers an alternative registration option for inventors to protect their innovations, and unlike patents, it does not require the inventive step criterion. We ensure that your innovative products are quickly protected through utility model applications. We assist you in managing the application process, preparing the necessary documents, and submitting them to the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office. Additionally, we carry out the necessary follow-up procedures to ensure your innovations remain secured throughout the protection period after registration.
Patent Preliminary Research and Reporting
Preliminary research conducted before a patent application is crucial to analyze whether your invention has already been registered and to assess its originality. During the patent preliminary research process, we examine the technical features of your invention and provide a detailed report. This report helps you evaluate the registrability of your invention and provides the necessary data for a secure application process. Additionally, by comparing it with similar products and inventions in the industry, we accurately analyze the patentability of your invention.
Patent and Utility Model Monitoring
With monthly bulletin tracking, we provide periodic reports to our clients on the latest developments. Additionally, we offer reports based on criteria such as competitor companies, technology fields, and more, enabling our clients to enhance their activities. As part of this service, we identify patents that may pose risks in the future during the application stage and closely monitor changes made during the registration phase, objections raised, opinions submitted, and other office actions. Through this meticulously managed service, we ensure our clients take timely action and smoothly navigate their processes.
Patent and Utility Model Renewal
Patents are valid for 20 years from the application date, while utility models are valid for 10 years. After this period, renewal is required to maintain protection. We monitor your patent and utility model renewal processes and ensure timely completion of the necessary renewal procedures. This way, we ensure that the legal protection period of your invention continues without interruption and that all renewal processes are carried out flawlessly.
International Patent Application and Registration
Protecting your invention in the global market is made possible through international patent applications. These applications can be filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) or the European Patent Convention (EPC). We provide strategic support during the international patent registration process and determine the most suitable application method based on the countries where your invention needs protection. By fulfilling all legal requirements in application and follow-up procedures, we assist you in establishing an effective international patent protection strategy.
