Şenel Patent guides its clients through the maze of regulations and procedures involved in obtaining a design patent in Turkey. In this regard, our attorneys assist clients to develop intellectual property portfolios that serve specific business objectives so as to yield clear strategic returns. In many cases, this means seeking the broadest claims to which an invention is entitled so as to foreclose competitors from market share. As corporate initiatives are increasingly driven by intellectual property, the quality of design patent prosecution advice rendered to a client can have enormous financial consequences.
We also work with our clients to ensure they and their employees, inventors, engineers to understand the design patent process and follow policies and guidelines that protect against inadvertent loss of rights in an invention. In this regard, we routinely conduct industry and in-house seminars on the patentability process, including procedures on documenting conception of an invention, limitations on public written disclosures of the invention (such as in marketing materials or research papers), use of diligence in pursing an invention, and the disclosure requirements necessary to ensure that any issued design patent is as defensible as possible.
The firm provides design patent prosecution and counseling services in a wide range of technical and business areas, in almost every industry, and in both the retail and commercial markets.
