Patent, utility model and design registration fee calculator

How it is calculated

• Patent. An application fee, then a search report and an examination report, each against a fee. The search is requested with the application or within twelve months of it (Law No. 6769 art. 96(1)); the examination is requested within three months of the search report’s notification (art. 98(1)). The certificate is issued on request once the grant is published, against a fee (art. 98(7)).
• Utility model (faydalı model). An application fee and a search report, requested within two months of notice that the formal examination is complete (art. 143(5)). The tariff lists no examination report for a utility model, which is granted after the search report is evaluated (art. 143(9)–(10)). The certificate is again issued on request against a fee.
• Annual fees. Annual fees are paid from the end of the second year from the filing date and every year after it; protection lasts 20 years for a patent and 10 years for a utility model (art. 101(1)–(2); Regulation art. 106). The calculator adds the tariff’s rows through the year you enter, in the tariff’s own numbering.
• Natural persons and universities. Reduced search and examination fees apply to a natural person for up to 10 requests made through e-Devlet in a year and to a university for up to 100 (Communiqué BİK/TÜRKPATENT: 2026/1 art. 3(5)). The calculator applies the reduced amount when you choose it; it cannot count earlier requests.
• Industrial design (tasarım). An application fee for the first design. A multiple application may hold up to 100 designs, whose products belong to one class (ornaments and patterns excepted), and each further design adds a fee that differs for the second, the third to fifth and the sixth and later (Law art. 61(7); Regulation arts 53 and 55; Communiqué art. 6, schedule 4, item 04.01.02). A publication fee is due for each 8 × 8 cm area of the views (Regulation art. 53(3)), and a deferral fee for each design whose publication is deferred, for up to 30 months (Law art. 66; Regulation art. 53(5)). Protection lasts five years and is renewed in five-year periods up to 25 years (Law art. 69(1)).
• What each amount contains. The tariff states each fee without value-added tax (KDV) and without the duty (harç) under the Duties Law No. 492; both are added (Communiqué 2026/1 art. 1(1)). The table below shows every amount payable as TÜRKPATENT prints it, and the VAT rate used.
• Claims and pages. The tariff does not charge by the number of claims, pages or drawings, so the calculator does not ask for them.

What it leaves out

• A representative’s fee, translation costs and other expenses: official fees exclude them. International routes (PCT, European patent) have their own fees.
• The due date of each annual fee, and which tariff row applies to a given payment: the tariff lists utility model annual fees from year 2, while the Regulation (art. 106(1)) starts annual fees from the third year of protection. The calculator takes the rows as the tariff numbers them and dates no payment.
• Reduced first-filing fees for small and medium-sized legal entities (items 01.01.66 to 01.01.69, added by Communiqué 2026/2), urgent search reports, priority-right claims, second and third examination reports, conversions between a patent and a utility model, transfers, licences, pledges, late-payment and relief fees.
• Fees under any tariff issued after 2026: annual fees and design renewals are shown at today’s amounts.
• Whether the invention or the design can be protected at all.
