Patent and Utility Model
Patent legislation in Turkey, which has become one of the most important production centers in the world due to its geographical location, production and R&D capacity, has changed to comply with the European legislation of October 10, 2017, and is currently within the framework of the provisions of the SMK No. 6769.
What are the Main Differences Between Patent and Utility Model in Turkey?
- While novelty and inventive step criteria are required to obtain a patent certificate, only innovation criteria are required for a utility model certificate.
- Patents: Methods in the fields of chemistry, pharmacy and biotechnology can be patented, but they cannot be utility models.
- While methods can be the subject of a patent, they cannot be the subject of a utility model.
- Unlike a patent, there is no institutional review in the process of obtaining a utility model certificate. For the utility model, the institution only conducts innovation research.
