Choosing the correct Turkish filing route
This page covers direct national patent filing in Turkey. For an international application use our PCT national phase service; for an already granted European patent use EP validation in Turkey. Share the application number and deadline so the correct procedure can be confirmed.
The required work depends on whether the matter is a direct national application, a priority-claiming filing or another route connected with an international application. We confirm the intended route and identify missing information before quoting or filing.
Information we need
Send the specification, claims, abstract and drawings, applicant and inventor details, priority documents if applicable, and any approaching deadline.
Patent registration costs in Turkey
The cost depends on the selected filing route, document and translation scope, claim structure, priority position and the prosecution work required after filing. We review the technical documents first and provide a case-specific proposal separating the applicable official costs, translation work and professional service.
Patent application process and timing
A Turkish patent matter may involve preparation, filing, formal review, search, examination and responses to official communications. Timing varies with the route, document readiness and issues raised during prosecution. We identify the immediate filing deadline and report later stages separately.
Application documents and translation control
The technical disclosure, claims, abstract and drawings must remain consistent throughout preparation. Where Turkish translations are required, terminology and document versions are coordinated before submission to reduce avoidable formal inconsistencies.
Prosecution and status reporting
Following filing, we monitor official communications and procedural deadlines. Examination reports or office actions are reviewed separately, and the applicant or foreign associate receives a clear summary of the issue, the available response route and the documents needed.
Clear scope before instruction
Following a technical review of the invention disclosure, we identify the appropriate filing route, required drawings and claim-drafting work, then issue a Turkey-specific scope and fee proposal.
Patent priority, translation and protection term
For an ordinary national application filed with permitted foreign-language documents, the Turkish translations must generally be supplied within two months from filing, without waiting for a reminder. This national-filing rule should not be substituted for the PCT or EP validation requirements.
Send the description, claims, abstract and drawings, applicant and inventor details, priority information, and an explanation of how the applicant acquired the right where relevant. We identify the filing version, translation work and supporting documents before quoting.

Frequently asked questions
What documents are required for a patent application in Turkey?
The filing review normally requires the specification, claims, abstract, drawings, applicant and inventor details, priority information if applicable, and the relevant deadline.
Can a foreign applicant file a patent in Turkey?
Yes. Foreign applicants and instructing patent firms may obtain local filing, prosecution and English-language reporting support before TÜRKPATENT.
Is European patent validation the same as a new Turkish patent application?
No. Validation is a post-grant step for a European patent, while a Turkish patent application follows a filing and prosecution route. See our European patent validation in Turkey service for the post-grant procedure.
How are patent application costs in Turkey determined?
The quote depends on the filing route, specification length, translation and drafting work, priority documents and the prosecution stages included. Official fees and professional or translation work are identified separately.
Can we supply an existing foreign patent specification?
Yes. Supply the description, claims, abstract and drawings, together with the intended filing route and any priority data. Document and translation review is identified in the proposal.
Should I use this page for a granted European patent?
A granted European patent follows the validation route. Use our European patent validation page so the grant publication and Turkish validation requirements are reviewed separately.
