Securing a European patent is only the first step in protecting your invention across Europe. For your patent to have legal effect in Turkey, it must be validated before the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office. Without this process, your patent cannot be enforced in Turkey.
The validation procedure requires:
Translations are not just a formality — they define the scope of your protection. For this reason, it is crucial that translations are prepared by professional patent translators who fully understand both technical and legal terminology. A poorly translated specification may result in misunderstandings or even a loss of rights.
Time is also critical: validation must be completed within three months of the publication of the European Patent Grant in the European Patent Bulletin. Missing these deadlines means that your patent will not take effect in Turkey, which could put your competitive advantage at risk.
By working with us, you ensure that every step of the process is handled with precision, expertise, and full compliance with Turkish patent law.
Renewals of Validated European Patents in Turkey
Once validated, a European patent must be maintained in force in Turkey through annual renewal payments. These fees are due each year and must be paid to the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office within the statutory deadlines.
Failure to make renewal payments on time can result in the irreversible loss of rights, leaving your innovation unprotected. To prevent this, we offer comprehensive renewal management services — monitoring all deadlines, making timely payments, and keeping your patent portfolio secure.
Our proactive approach means you can focus on your business while we ensure that your intellectual property rights remain fully protected in Turkey. Whether you manage a single patent or a large portfolio, we provide tailored support to safeguard your innovations for the long term.
