Patent Rights in Turkey

Patent is a right provided for inventions that meet the conditions in the legislation. Only inventions with a technical aspect are patented. In order for an invention to be granted a patent certificate, it must meet the conditions of protection. The protection conditions required to obtain a patent certificate and all other patent-related issues are regulated under the Industrial Property Law.

There are many types of patents. For example, method patent, dependent patent, supplemental patent, confidential patent, drug patent, biotechnology patent, method of doing business patent, computer program patent.

Protection conditions are included in Article 82/1 of the Industrial Property Law. According to this article, in order for an invention to receive a patent certificate, it must meet the following conditions:

• Novelty: The invention for which the patent application has been filed must not have been made public anywhere in the world before the filing date. The invention technique for which a patent application will be made should not be included in the existing techniques.
• Invention Step: It is checked by a skilled person whether the known state of the technique is exceeded.
