土耳其于2000年成为《欧洲专利公约》的成员。2016年12月22日，土耳其通过了《工业产权法典》（No. 6769），将专利和实用新型（第四卷）、外观设计（第三卷）、商标（第一卷）、地理标志（第二卷）等整合到一部法律中，但专利、实用新型和外观设计属于不同的知识产权权利类型。
根据《工业产权法典》，实用新型不保护方法，且对创造性没有明确要求。土耳其给予实用新型12个月的不丧失新颖性宽限期。
土耳其专利商标局（Turkpatent）负责根据知识产权相关法律的规定，注册专利、实用新型、外观设计、商标、地理标志、传统产品名称和集成电路布图，并为保护这些权利而采取行动。
土耳其于2000年成为《欧洲专利公约》的成员。实用新型可以通过向Turkpatent提交申请获得土耳其实用新型，或者通过欧洲专利公约（EPC）申请获得欧洲专利，从而在土耳其获得保护。
申请可以直接提交，也可以在专利合作条约（PCT）框架内提交，指定欧洲专利局或土耳其。
直接向Turkpatent申请实用新型的程序
一项实用新型申请中只能包含一项发明，或者属于一个总的发明构思的多项发明。
1.提交申请
请人可通过Turkpatent网站提供的在线系统提交实用新型申请，但该系统需要用户提供土耳其身份证号码，以及通过该身份证号码注册的电子政务密码、手机号或者电子签名。
因此，外国申请人需要通过土耳其的代理人提交申请。
提交申请时，说明书、权利要求书、摘要和附图（如有）可以使用《保护工业产权巴黎公约》或《建立世界贸易组织协定》成员方的一种官方语言，或者与土耳其实施互惠原则的国家的官方语言。
申请书中应注明发明人，但是发明人可以要求对其名字保密。如果申请人不是发明人，那么必须披露其如何获得该发明的所有权。
2.形式审查
当Turkpatent收到包含以下要素的材料后，将受理申请并为申请确立申请日：（1）请求授予实用新型；（2）申请人的身份和联系方式；（3）使用土耳其语或上述官方语言的说明书，或者对之前申请的引述。
如果申请人未提交《工业产权法典》第90条所规定的全部材料，或者申请材料未使用土耳其语，可在申请日起2个月内补充或提交土耳其语翻译，否则将被视为撤回申请。
如果申请不符合形式审查的要求，将通知申请人在其通知之日起2个月内对申请材料中的缺陷进行修改。如果在此期限内未纠正不足，申请将被拒绝。
3.检索报告
申请人可在提交申请时即提出检索请求并支付费用，或者应在收到Turkpatent发出的申请符合形式审查的通知之日起2个月内，或对Turkpatent提出的缺陷在规定期限内进行修改后的2个月内交纳检索费，否则将被视为撤回申请。
根据《工业产权法典》第143条第（6）款，如果申请人根据该法第104条第（5）款或第（1）款要求检索报告，Turkpatent应出具报告，提供给申请人并在公报中公布。
如果Turkpatent认为发明属于《工业产权法典》第142条所规定的不可受实用新型保护的客体，或者申请材料中的说明书或权利要求书不够清晰，将不出具检索报告并通知申请人。
申请人可自Turkpatent通知之日起3个月内提出答辩意见或修改申请文件。
如果申请人未反馈，或者提出的答辩意见或对申请文件的修改未被Turkpatent接受，申请将被驳回；反之，Turkpatent将出具检索报告，将其提供给申请人并在公报中进行公布。
如果申请人未按照LRPV的要求纠正申请材料，申请将被视为未提交或被驳回。LRPV会将该结果通知申请人。
检索报告公布后的3个月内，申请人可以通过提交相关文件等方式对检索报告的内容提出申诉，并且第三方可以提出意见。
如果申请人未提出申诉且第三方未提出异议，则Turkpatent仅依据检索报告作出决定；如果存在申诉或意见，Turkpatent将结合检索报告进行评估。
4.公开
自申请日或自优先权日起18个月后，或根据申请人提出的提前公开请求，Turkpatent将在公报中公开实用新型申请。
5.授权与复审
如果Turkpatent根据评估结果最终决定授予实用新型，将通知申请人其决定，并在其公报上公开。
如果Turkpatent认为需要修改，将通知申请人在其通知之日起2个月内修改申请文件。如果修改被其接受，Turkpatent将授予实用新型，通知申请人其决定，并在公报上公开。
如果申请人未予答复或者修改未被Turkpatent接受，将被视为撤回申请。Turkpatent将通知申请人该决定，并在公报上公开。
申请人需要交纳证书费，Turkpatent将向其提供实用新型文件。
实用新型一旦授予给权利人，《工业产权法典》第99条所规定的异议程序不再执行。第三方只可通过法院实用新型无效。
如果Turkpatent认为申请不符合土耳其法律的要求，将予以驳回，通知申请人其决定，并在官方公报中公布。申请人可根据《工业产权法典》第100条，在Turkpatent通知该决定后的2个月内，向复审和评估委员会提出复审。
土耳其实用新型的保护期从申请日或优先权日起算，最长为10年，且该期限不可延长。

Türkiye became a member of the European Patent Convention in 2000. On December 22, 2016, Türkiye adopted the Industrial Property Code (No. 6769), which integrates patents and utility models (Volume IV), designs (Volume III), trademarks (Volume I), geographical indications (Volume II), etc. into one law. However, patents, utility models and designs belong to different types of intellectual property rights.
According to the Industrial Property Code, utility models do not protect methods and there is no clear requirement for creativity. Türkiye gives the utility model a 12-month grace period without losing its novelty.
The Patent and Trademark Office of Türkiye is responsible for registering patents, utility models, designs, trademarks, geographical indications, traditional product names and integrated circuit layout in accordance with the provisions of intellectual property laws, and taking actions to protect these rights.
Türkiye became a member of the European Patent Convention in 2000.
The utility model can be protected in Türkiye by submitting an application to Türkiye to obtain a utility model in Turkey, or by applying to obtain a European patent through the European Patent Convention (EPC).
Applications can be submitted either directly or within the framework of the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), designating the European Patent Office or Türkiye.
Procedure for directly applying for a utility model to Turkpatent
A utility model application can only contain one invention or multiple inventions belonging to one overall inventive concept.
1. Submit an application
Applicants can submit utility model applications through the online system provided by Turkpatent website, but the system requires users to provide Türkiye ID card number, as well as the e-government password, mobile phone number or electronic signature registered through the ID card number.
Therefore, the foreign applicant needs to submit the application through the agent of Türkiye. When submitting the application, the description, claims, abstract and drawings (if any) may be in an official language of the member parties to the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property Rights or the Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization, or the official language of the country where the principle of reciprocity is implemented with Türkiye.
The application should indicate the inventor, but the inventor may request that their name be kept confidential. If the applicant is not the inventor, they must disclose how they obtained ownership of the invention.
2. Formal review
When Turkpatent receives materials containing the following elements, it will accept the application and establish a filing date for the application: (1) request for the grant of a utility model; (2) The applicant's identity and contact information; (3) Instructions in Turkish or the above official language, or references to previous applications.
If the applicant has not submitted all the materials specified in Article 90 of the Industrial Property Code, or the application materials are not in Turkish, it may supplement or submit a Turkish translation within 2 months from the application date, otherwise it will be deemed to have withdrawn the application.
If the application does not meet the requirements of formal examination, the applicant will be notified to modify the defects in the application materials within 2 months from the date of notification. If the deficiencies are not corrected within this deadline, the application will be rejected.
3. Search report
The applicant may submit a search request and pay the fee upon submission of the application, or shall pay the search fee within 2 months from the date of receipt of the notice of formal examination issued by Turkpatent, or within 2 months after making modifications to the defects raised by Turkpatent within the prescribed period. Otherwise, the application will be deemed withdrawn.
According to Article 143 (6) of the Industrial Property Code, if the applicant requests a search report under Article 104 (5) or (1) of the Code, Turkpatent shall provide the report to the applicant and publish it in the Gazette.
If Turkpatent considers the invention to be an object that cannot be protected as a utility model under Article 142 of the Industrial Property Code, or if the specification or claims in the application materials are not clear enough, a search report will not be issued and the applicant will be notified.
The applicant may submit their defense opinions or modify the application documents within 3 months from the date of Turkpatent notification. If the applicant does not provide feedback, or if their defense opinions or modifications to the application documents are not accepted by Turkpatent, the application will be rejected; On the contrary, Turkpatent will issue a search report, provide it to the applicant, and publish it in the official gazette.
If the applicant fails to correct the application materials as required by LRPV, the application will be deemed not submitted or rejected. LRPV will notify the applicant of the result.
Within 3 months after the publication of the search report, applicants can appeal the content of the search report by submitting relevant documents and other means, and third parties can provide opinions. If the applicant does not file an appeal and the third party does not raise any objections, Turkpatent will only make a decision based on the search report; If there are appeals or opinions, Turkpatent will evaluate them in conjunction with the search report.
4. Publicly available
After 18 months from the filing date or priority date, or upon the applicant's request for early publication, Turkpatent will publish the utility model application in the public notice.
5. Authorization and Review
If Turkpatent decides to grant a utility model based on the evaluation results, it will notify the applicant of its decision and publish it in its official bulletin. If Turkpatent deems it necessary to make modifications, they will notify the applicant to modify the application documents within 2 months from the date of their notification.
If the modification is accepted, Turkpatent will grant the utility model, notify the applicant of its decision, and publish it in the Gazette. If the applicant does not respond or the modifications are not accepted by Turkpatent, the application will be deemed withdrawn. Turkpatent will notify the applicant of the decision and make it public in the Gazette.
The applicant is required to pay a certificate fee, and Turkpatent will provide them with utility model documents.
Once a utility model is granted to the right holder, the objection procedure stipulated in Article 99 of the Industrial Property Code shall no longer be carried out.
Third parties can only invalidate utility models through the court. If Turkpatent considers that the application does not meet the requirements of Türkiye's laws, it will reject it, notify the applicant of its decision, and publish it in the official gazette.
The applicant may, in accordance with Article 100 of the Industrial Property Code, submit a review to the Review and Evaluation Committee within 2 months after Turkpatent notifies the decision.
The protection period of utility models in Türkiye starts from the application date or priority date, and the maximum period is 10 years, and this period cannot be extended.
