Explain the intended filing context
WIPO’s national chapter for Türkiye identifies Turkish as the translation language and sets out the parts to be considered. Confirm the filing context with your authorised patent attorney. In your enquiry, tell us what the translation will be used for and the delivery date you require. Your attorney or the relevant office should verify official deadlines, filing steps and the legal status of the application.
Identify the text to be translated
The published application, later amendments and examination documents may represent different versions. State which file is the source for translation. If claims or other sections have been amended, label the clean text and the file showing changes separately. A single folder is useful, but it should also include a short list explaining the role and status of each document.
List the parts of the document set
Identify the description, claims, abstract and any wording in the drawings. Include appendices, tables or figure descriptions that might otherwise be missed. Let us confirm the scope from the supplied files rather than relying only on a publication number. If sources are available in several languages, clearly state which one is to govern the translation.
- Source description and claims
- Any amended sections
- Abstract and text in figures
- Additional files included in the scope
Provide references and a contact for questions
Earlier Turkish terminology used in the patent family, product documents and approved glossaries may help maintain consistency. Explain whether they represent mandatory preferences or background reference material. If a term needs different wording in different contexts, add a short note. We should also agree who can answer technical or scope questions raised during translation and how their responses will be recorded.
Agree file sharing and review requirements
You can discuss sharing arrangements before sending unpublished material or confidential amendments. An initial enquiry can start with the language pair, approximate length and file types. Source comparison, terminology checks and revision by a separate person can have different scopes. The quote will identify the checks and working method agreed for your project, including any confidentiality requirements that affect the work.
Keep translation delivery separate from filing
Specify the translation delivery date you want and the required output format. We can use a delivery list to connect the source version, translated file and any outstanding questions. Delivery of the translation does not mean the national filing has been completed. Plan the time needed for your attorney’s review and filing separately, then let us assess the translation schedule against that requirement.

Frequently asked questions
01Is a publication number enough to obtain a quote?+
It helps start the discussion. A firm scope requires the actual source version, the parts to be translated, the files and your preferred date.
02Can I provide amended claims separately?+
Yes. Label the controlling source and amendment files clearly. We can agree which sections need translation or incorporation into an earlier translated version.
03Do you calculate the official filing deadline?+
This guide concerns preparing the translation files. Your authorised patent attorney or the relevant office must verify official deadlines and filing procedures.
04Can we discuss confidentiality before sending files?+
Yes. Start without uploading a document and discuss file sharing and tool-use arrangements before translation begins.
