Industrial and intellectual property is an
important structure that is popular all over the world. Each country has legal
regulations in the field of intellectual and industrial property in order to
protect one's invention. The 6769 Industrial and Intellectual Property Law,
which entered into force in 2017, paved the way for universities in Türkiye to
have rights in applications for inventions such as patents, utility models and
designs. Thesis studies that
young researchers start during their postgraduate period are focused solely on
publication. The commercialization and patenting potential of theses determined
without analyzing the needs of the industrial sector is low, and this makes the
thesis work of many engineers inefficient. It is
necessary for KTU that is the
application authority, to develop new strategies to increase industrial
property assets. This study aims to reveal the effect on the number of
patent applications by Karadeniz Technical University (KTU) as a result of the
evaluation of graduate thesis topics without request. Within the scope of the
new strategy, a methodology was applied for the evaluation of patent and
utility model application data in the KTÜ patent portfolio, the distribution of
data by year, and patent registration documents. In this study, direct patent
and utility model application data were evaluated. When the
application data was examined, it was seen that the new strategy implemented
increased the industrial property assets.
