Your works that solve the technical problem have the quality of an invention. Your inventions can be obtained as a result of serious equity and efforts of your company.. In order to protect and use these inventions, it is necessary to register a patent. Thanks to patent registration, you can legally protect your inventions. Legal protection provides a monopoly right on the product you have registered.
It is of vital importance that these inventions of yours are protected abroad as well. For this reason, international patent registration procedures must be performed. You can contact us to get information about what you need to do for patent registration abroad and protect the industrial rights of your inventions abroad.
Patent registration procedures for your inventions are usually carried out to cover the borders of the country where you are located. However, patent holders who want to expand the protection area and rights of these inventions can perform patent registration procedures abroad for this purpose. These applications, which can be made by different ways, expand the rights of the applicants.
After obtaining a foreign patent registration certificate, you can become an international patent registration holder in the original country of registration and the countries where the patent application was filed.
More than one way can be followed in order to have a foreign patent registration. Persons who will apply for registration should take into account such elements as the contents of the agreements and the countries that are parties. These applications vary in applications according to the selected path and method.
The Patent Cooperation Agreement, known as PCT for short, is an agreement that allows you to have an international patent registration to which 153 countries are parties. Thanks to the patent cooperation agreement, you have the right to apply for patent registration in each of the countries party to this agreement within 30 months from the date of application.
Thanks to the PCT application, the rights holders get both financial gain and time savings. With this agreement, a valid report is obtained in all countries party to the agreement by preventing the cost of research for each country separately. Thus, it is ensured that applicants use their legal rights with much more reasonable costs.
It should be remembered regarding PCT that thanks to this agreement, you will not have obtained patent registration in every country. Only the countries party to the agreement will be granted the right to apply separately.
It is the contract that provides for obtaining patent registration in all European countries that are parties to the contract, where protection can be provided with a single application. However, this registration does not have any validity in other countries. The purpose of this agreement is to enable patent registration to be carried out in the member states to be faster and easier.
Thanks to this agreement, a patent application can be filed at a much lower cost and can be valid everywhere in Europe. With the procedures carried out by the European Patent Office, your registration provides protection for 20 years.
The first method that can be chosen to apply for a patent under the European Patent Convention is to go to the Turkish Patent and Trademark Authority. In this way, you can carry out your transactions in Turkish and pass the process more easily.
After the first application, transactions can be initiated within 12 months by taking advantage of this agreement so that your patent can be protected in European countries. National and international applications can be made by showing priority. For a European patent, a patent application petition, description, requests, images and summary documents are requested.
You can apply to communities for patent registration procedures abroad, as well as provide protection in separately requested countries. With this registration application, you can provide protection in that country. This is called a classic patent application. With this method, registration may also be limited within 2-3 countries.
The application made individually for each country also has a separate patent process. Classical patent application is generally not preferred because it is more troublesome and costly.
By applying for patents in different communities outside of Europe, protection can be provided in different groups of countries.
The first of these groups is the Eurasian Patent. This patent method may be preferred due to low costs and patent registration in a short time. In this method, applications can be made in a number of member states such as Armenia, the Russian Federation, Belarus, Azerbaijan.
Applications can be made in different African countries with OAPI Union and ARIPO. Thanks to these patent agreements, it is also possible to switch to these agreements at the regional stage with a PCT application.
