Patent and Utility Model Monitoring & Annual Fee Tracking
The effective protection of patent and utility model rights is possible through regular monitoring and timely payment of annual fees. At Başalan Patent, we ensure the security of your rights by providing patent/utility model monitoring and annual fee tracking services.
1. Patent / Utility Model Monitoring
By regularly reviewing the Official Patent Bulletin published monthly by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office, we identify applications similar to your patent or utility model.
✅ Monitoring patent/utility model applications helps detect similar or nearly identical applications during the application stage.
✅ Necessary objections are made in a timely manner to prevent loss of rights.
✅ Competitor analysis can be conducted, and your position in the industry can be determined.
✅ Similar applications are reported regularly every month.
Through this system, your patent rights are protected while you also stay informed about industry developments and your competitors.
2. Annual Fee Tracking
In order to maintain the validity of a patent or utility model, an annual fee must be paid each year.
✅ Annual fees must be paid in advance on the month and day corresponding to the application date.
✅ After payment, the original bank receipt must be submitted to the Patent Office.
✅ If payment is not made on time, a late fee can be paid within 6 months.
✅ If payment is not made within this period, the patent or utility model rights will expire.
At Başalan Patent, we track your annual fees and send reminders to ensure they are paid on time. This way, you can protect your invention for 20 years (patent) or 10 years (utility model) without the risk of losing your rights.
