Patentlar

Patentlar, in Turkish, refers to patents. A patent is a form of intellectual property that grants its owner the exclusive right to prevent others from making, using, or selling an invention for a limited period. This period typically lasts for 20 years from the filing date of the patent application. To be granted a patent, an invention must be new, involve an inventive step (not obvious to someone skilled in the art), and be capable of industrial application. The purpose of the patent system is to encourage innovation by providing inventors with a temporary monopoly in exchange for disclosing their inventions to the public. This disclosure allows for the advancement of technology once the patent expires. Patent applications are filed with national or regional patent offices, such as the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (Türk Patent). The process involves a detailed examination to ensure the invention meets the patentability criteria. Obtaining a patent can be a complex and lengthy process.
