Regulatory profiles
How your country selects EnaTTO's regulatory profile - suggested patent offices and fee rules, funding catalogue, reporting framework and legal references.

This article was verified with an older release. Screen names or steps may differ in the current version.
EnaTTO is used in several countries. A regulatory profile adapts the suggestions to your country without building any country's rules into your records. Profiles exist for Türkiye, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Switzerland; other countries get a general international profile.
Required role
- The profile follows the Country in Organization settings (Owner, Administrator).
Where to see it
Go to System management → Regional settings → Time and country. Under the country, Regulatory profile shows four parts.
What a profile contains
| Part | What it does |
|---|---|
| Suggested patent offices | The offices offered when you add a patent application: your national office plus the EPO, WIPO and USPTO, with the rules for suggested deadlines |
| Funding catalogue | International ready-made programmes plus your country's, added to Funding programs |
| Institutional reporting framework | The national TTO reporting framework whose indicators are tagged on the Reports page |
| Legal references | Links to the relevant law on employee inventions and rights |
By country
| Country | National office | Examples of funding programmes | Reporting framework | Legal reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Türkiye | TÜRKPATENT | TÜBİTAK, TÜSEB, KOSGEB | TÜBİTAK 1513 | Law No. 6769 (SMK), art. 113–121 |
| Germany | DPMA (annual fees from year 3) | DFG, BMFTR, ZIM, EXIST | ASTP | ArbnErfG § 42 |
| United Kingdom | UKIPO (annual fees from year 5) | UKRI, Innovate UK, KTP | HE-BCI | Patents Act 1977, s. 39–43 |
| Netherlands | Octrooicentrum Nederland (annual fees from year 4) | NWO Open Competition, NWO Take-off, MIT-regeling | ASTP | Rijksoctrooiwet 1995, art. 12 |
| Switzerland | IGE/IPI (annual fees from year 5) | SNSF, Innosuisse, BRIDGE | ASTP | OR art. 332 |
Patent protection is taken as 20 years. No annual fees are suggested for designs and utility models. Ready-made funding programmes carry no amounts or dates.
References, not determinations
A profile only suggests and links. EnaTTO does not determine rights, ownership, inventor remuneration or revenue shares, and the reporting framework is a label: official template columns are mapped only once a sample template is shared.
Changing the country
Changing the country affects only new items. Missing ready-made programmes of the new country are added; existing programmes and patent applications stay unchanged and are never deleted.
