Made in EU Technology and Patent Advisory
Technological contributions in products and processes are protected through patents and utility models. Creating value-added is not enough; it must be owned.
Service Details
The most overlooked dimension in Made in EU compliance is this: when a technological innovation is added to the production process, it both increases value-added from the perspective of origin rules and creates a protectable intellectual property asset. These two dimensions are managed together. Product and process patents are structured at EU (EPO) and international (PCT) offices by registered patent attorneys. However, the work does not end with the patent application: through FTO (Freedom to Operate) analysis, it is determined before market entry whether third-party patent rights would be infringed, and licensing and technology transfer agreements are prepared. Particularly for companies that manufacture in Turkey and sell in the EU, this service functions as a critical shield: if a registered technology stands behind the origin declaration, the buyer's confidence level increases exponentially.
Highlights
- EU and PCT patent applications — multi-country protection through a single application; sector-tailored strategy
- FTO (Freedom to Operate) report — patent infringement risk is screened before market entry
- Licensing and technology transfer agreements — technology is licensed, not sold; recurring revenue is generated
