Does Turkey Protect Second Medical Use Patents?

The Istanbul IP Court had previously ruled in 2014 that second medical use patents granted prior to December 13, 2007, were not patentable under the EPC 1973. The court argued that the absence of explicit mention of the patentability of second use patents in Article 52/4 of EPC 1973 rendered such patents non-patentable. However, the decision was overturned by the Supreme Court. The Industrial Property Code No. 6769, which became effective on January 10, 2017, stipulates that products, particularly substances and compositions used in therapeutic methods, including diagnostic and surgical methods, are patentable. Therefore, second medical use patents are protectable in Turkey as long as they are novel and include an inventive step.
