In 2017, Turkey made significant revisions to its Industrial Property Law, specifically in relation to university patents. This change was inspired by the famous Bayh-Dole Act of the USA in 1980. The primary objective of these legislative changes was to streamline the patent application procedures for academics and entities within universities. This study tries to find an answer to the question of whether the change in the legislation affected university patents positively in Turkey. Additionally, employing advanced econometric techniques, the study investigates the plausibility of a trajectory resembling that of the United States for Turkish university patents in the coming years. The results show that the legislation change has positively affected Turkish university patenting. However, this positive impact appears to be more pronounced in developed regions of Turkey and specific sectors.
