Since -approximately- 2015, TURKPATENT can search and examine all applications except for specific applications. Periods and time-frames are way shorter as the Intellectual Property Rights Code steps in. If all the periods promised by the TURKPATENT are complied with and making an early declaration demand, the process of obtaining the license in the utility model is estimated to be approximately 10-12 months. If the entire process is successful for the patent applications it is estimated that the licensing period will take around 36 months. A Utility model application costs approximately $1000 to 1500 because there is a research in the utility models in the Intellectual Property Rights Code. It costs approximately between $1.850 and $3.500 depending on the process of the patent applications. One of the considerations that should be taken into account regarding the costs indicated here is the fact that the fees required to be paid will be paid at the required times during the licensing period. Yet another consideration is the fact that right holders must pay the fees to the TURKPATENT which are required to be paid annually.
