Preliminary patent search
Search patent literature and relevant non-patent disclosures using technical synonyms and IPC/CPC classifications.
Türkiye: practical decision and evidence
Search patent literature and relevant non-patent disclosures using technical synonyms and IPC/CPC classifications. Record dates and feature comparisons. Patentability searching and freedom-to-operate analysis are different tasks and should not be presented as the same report.
Worked file: a product team wants “a patent search” before selling. Clarify whether the objective is novelty, patentability, technical landscape or freedom to operate. Select jurisdictions, technical features and date scope accordingly; an ordinary prior-art search does not prove freedom to commercialise the product.
Patentability conditions
Assess novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability separately using dated prior art and a feature comparison. Distinguish technical solutions from excluded subject matter. A working prototype or commercial success alone does not establish patentability.
Patent claims
Patent claims define the technical matter for which protection is sought. Link every feature to the original description and distinguish independent from dependent claims. Revisions must not introduce unsupported subject matter merely to avoid earlier art.
Patent search databases
Use TÜRKPATENT, Espacenet and PATENTSCOPE for complementary patent searches. Record publication/application numbers, families and search dates. Search databases are not interchangeable with the official national register for current legal status.
Official filing and support
This guidance concerns Turkish rights unless a section expressly names another jurisdiction. Kayra can coordinate research, document preparation and follow-up. Registration, opposition and grant decisions belong to the competent office. Verify any required representative’s registration and authority before appointing them; court proceedings require appropriately qualified legal representation. The enquiry form requests consultancy, and does not itself file an official application.
