Ready for PCT national phase entry in Turkey?
This service is for an existing international application entering the Turkish national phase. We identify the relevant priority date, intended claims and amendments before fixing the entry and translation scope. A direct national application and European patent validation follow different procedures.
What the proposal covers
The entry proposal separates national fees, professional filing work and Turkish translation. It identifies the filing text, any fee-based entry extension, authorisation or entitlement documents and the reporting included. Later search, examination responses and annuities are stated separately where outside the entry scope.
How to start
Send the PCT/WO number, priority details, applicant and inventor information, published documents and Article 19 or 34 amendments. Identify any applicant changes and the intended claim version. We confirm the deadline and document checklist before the entry instruction is approved.
Local support for PCT applicants
We assist PCT applicants and foreign patent firms entering an international application into the Turkish national phase. Before filing, we check bibliographic data, priority and deadline information, amendments, translations and filing instructions.
Scope of support
- Deadline and document review
- Turkish translation coordination
- National phase filing and confirmation
- Prosecution and annuity follow-up
Pre-entry review
The PCT publication and current bibliographic record are reviewed together with any Article 19 or Article 34 amendments and later filing instructions. The applicable deadline is confirmed from the official case record rather than assumed from a general timetable.
Information we need
Send the PCT application number and publication, applicant and inventor details, priority data, amendments and the intended filing deadline.
Turkish translation coordination
We identify the document set to be translated and coordinate consistent Turkish terminology across the description, claims, abstract and drawings. If amended text is to be used, the filing version is confirmed before submission.
After national phase entry
A filing confirmation is issued after entry. We then monitor the Turkish application for official communications, prosecution requirements and annual-fee matters, reporting each development to the applicant or instructing associate.
Clear scope before instruction
For a Turkish PCT national phase entry, Anlam Patent first checks the international application number, priority data, applicable entry deadline, claims to be pursued and the available Turkish translation. The filing scope and required corrections are confirmed before submission.
Turkey PCT entry deadline and document checklist
The ordinary Turkish national phase deadline is 30 months from the priority date. Entry at 33 months is available on payment of the fee for requesting the entry extension; it is not an automatic free extension. Where no priority is claimed, the international filing date is used. Send the case number early so the applicable date and extension request can be checked.
Provide the PCT and WO numbers, publication, applicant and inventor details, priority data, the description, claims, abstract and drawings, and any Article 19 or Article 34 amendments. Identify the exact text to be pursued and any applicant changes before translation begins.
Proceedings are in Turkish. We confirm the translation set, national fees, local representation and any case-specific authorisation or entitlement documents before filing. Translation completion dates are reviewed separately from the national phase entry date.

Frequently asked questions
What should a Turkey PCT national phase quote specify?
It should identify the entry deadline, filing text and amendments, official fees, professional entry work, Turkish translation and any extension request. Later prosecution and annuity services should be distinguished from the initial entry scope.
