Patent Monitoring

Patent monitoring is a critical service for businesses and individuals protecting their inventions and tracking market innovation. Through the monthly bulletins published by TÜRKPATENT (the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office), patent and utility model applications are opened to public review and third-party comment. The process matters both for protecting inventors’ rights and for preventing potential rights violations by third parties.

What patent monitoring is

Patent monitoring is the regular tracking and analysis of published patent and utility model applications. The service helps businesses and individuals watch applications, file oppositions, and protect their own inventions.
