Türkiye: practical decision and evidence

A utility model and a patent have different statutory requirements, exclusions and terms in Türkiye. Compare the technical subject matter before selecting a route. A faster or cheaper filing is not a substitute for checking whether the invention qualifies for that form of protection.

Worked file: the client chooses a utility model solely to save fees. Analyse claimed subject matter against statutory eligibility and exclusions, then compare search, examination, term and budget implications. Record why the chosen route fits the invention rather than assuming all patent subject matter is interchangeable.

What a utility model protects

A Turkish utility model concerns qualifying technical subject matter and has its own eligibility and exclusion rules. Test novelty and the proposed claims before filing. It is not automatic protection for every invention that fails an inventive-step assessment.

What a patent protects

A patent concerns a technical invention and a territorially limited right defined by granted claims. Investigate novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability. Holding a patent is not a general permission to manufacture without considering others’ rights or product regulation.

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.

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.
