On 5 February 2025, the BIOTIN Project successfully conducted its third training session, focusing on one of the most critical aspects of innovation—Patent Application and Writing. Held on Microsoft Teams, the session was led by Kezban Yarıkan and Buğra Akın, both experts in intellectual property rights and patent processes.
In today’s rapidly evolving research and technology landscape, protecting intellectual property is crucial for ensuring that groundbreaking ideas are safeguarded and commercialized effectively. This training provided participants with essential knowledge on how to draft, file, and navigate the patent application process, enabling them to turn their innovative ideas into legally protected assets.
Throughout the session, Kezban Yarıkan and Buğra Akın explained the fundamentals of patent law, the criteria for patentability, and best practices for writing a strong patent application. Participants learned how to structure their applications, avoid common pitfalls, and strategically position their innovations for approval.
The training was particularly valuable for BIOTIN Project fellows, who are actively engaged in cutting-edge research and development. Understanding the patenting process equips them with the tools to protect their discoveries and maximize their impact in both academia and industry. External participants also gained crucial insights into how to secure intellectual property rights and leverage patents for entrepreneurial success.
With this session, the BIOTIN Project continues to foster a culture of innovation and commercialization, ensuring that researchers and entrepreneurs are equipped not only to develop groundbreaking ideas but also to protect and monetize them effectively.
