Validation of European Patents in Turkey
If you have obtained a granted European Patent, you can extend its protection to Turkey through the validation of European patents in Turkey procedure. As Turkey has been a member of the European Patent Convention (EPC) since November 1, 2000, European patents can be validated in Turkey with a single application.
At EFOR IP, we assist patent owners worldwide in managing the EP validation process in Turkey quickly and accurately.

Once validated, a European patent in Turkey is treated as a national patent.
European Patent Validation Process in Turkey
The validation procedure involves:
Filing a request before the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TPTO)
Submitting a Turkish translation of the patent specification
Paying the official validation fees
The application must be filed within 3 months from the date of publication of the grant in the European Patent Bulletin.
This deadline is not extendable. However, late submission of the translation may still be possible with an official surcharge.

Filing a Turkish translation of the claims during the EP application stage
