EPATS - New patent application system in Turkey

Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TURKPATENT) has introduced new online patent application system (EPATS).

The new system is put into use with a new interface, removing the defects of the former online application system with the following features:

• Drafts can be created for the repetitive works.
• Uncompleted applications can be saved as drafts for later completing.
• Electronic notifications will be sent by email and SMS upon the completion of the applications.
• Attorney information will be fetched automatically.
• Files can be viewed and filtred by the attorneys.

The system will make it easy for the Turkish patent attorneys and paralegals to handle and administer their applications more smoothly and securely.
