UTILITY MODELS

In Turkey, no innovation examination is made by the Turkish Patent Institute which is the official office for utility model applications. However, the  invention to be applied must be new. In addition, there is no requirement for inventive step for model applications.

Through an innovation research to be made previously for the invention and the measures to be taken, objections to the newness of the application and cases that can be filed against the document post-documentary period can be overcome.

1 year innovation criterion is sought by the Turkish Patent Institute. If a product has not been submitted for a patent even though it has been invented one year ago, , it becomes the public domain or utility model document can not be obtained.

Protection periods are valid for 10 years if the annual renewal fees are paid.

The Utility Model application is based on the declaration. Within 2 years, your document is delivered to you. Protection begins with the date of application.

The most important element that distinguishes the utility model from the patent registration is that it does not include the inventive step.

Inventive step means the elements which can not be explicitly extracted from the known art of the invention by a technical expert in the relevant technical field of the invention. For example, the production of a protected form of injectors beside their normal use in the health sector is an example of an utility model.

In order to obtain utility model documentation in accordance with the criteria mentioned above, many patent consultancy centers provide necessary consulting services to the inventor. When the invention owner decides to obtain the utility model certificate, he/she makes the application with the following documents

  1. Application petition
  2. Description of the invention
  3. Claims of the invention (technical specifications required for protection)
  4. Technical Drawings of the Invention
  5. Summary of the invention
  6. The utility model application can be made by individuals or legal entities.
  7. The utility model application may be made by a person or legal entity in the form of a joint application.

      8. In the application, the owner or the owners of the invention is/are specified.

  1. Use of Patent Attorney in Utility Model Application

Utility model applications cover a period of one year according to the nature of the application. The innovation research, the application and subsequent follow-ups require a considerable amount of knowledge, experience and infrastructure. Within this context, it is important that these should  be carried out by the attorneys registered at the professional attorneyship registry in order to prevent serious loss of rights.
