“NATIONAL GASTRONOMY VALUES COULD BE PROTECTED WITH PATENTS”

Stating that concepts of "patent" or "registration", which occupy a very important place in the field of gastronomy, have universal value for the protection of national values the head of the SAS Department of Gastronomy Asst. Prof. İsmail Hakkı Tekiner said: “Efforts of different parties to obtain benefits through our national food, beverage and food products can only be disposed of through patenting. For this reason, our department focuses on this issue and tries to train students with this awareness”.

Tekiner stated that over 200 patent applications were made by the Department of Gastronomy within the year we were about to leave behind and added: “An important part of them was officially approved. Our department takes a leading role in this field in our university and country.”

“WE HAVE ADAPTED IMPORTANT TASTES TO THE PRESENT”

3rd-grade student Beyza Nur Avcı who stated that with the patent work, she aims to restore the old value of morsel dessert, said: “I've adapted it to today's kitchen bringing easier, lighter and more elegant view. Since it is non-blunt and light, I aimed it to be served as both a package and in restaurants. It was a great opportunity and experience for us to be able to restore important flavors of Turkish cuisine to the present day and to keep up with today's changes.”

“WE HAVE THE WORLD'S RICHEST GASTRONOMY”

Chairman of the Board of Trustees of IGU Abdulkadir Gayretli coming together with the Director of SAS Prof. Dr. Hikmet Kavruk, Head of the Department of Gastronomy Asst. Prof. İsmail Hakkı Tekiner, Artisanal Products course practitioner Lect. Tolgahan Tabak and students, talked about the importance they give to patents.

Abdulkadir Gayretli stating that with every step they take, they intend to realize the firsts in Turkey and in the World and they carry out the studies in this direction, added: “We are always trying to be a university of firsts. We encourage our students to act with this idea. In our country, which has the richest gastronomy in the world, we can only protect our national values with patents and registration. We need to adopt new tastes that we create with different touches to our traditional tastes. We're setting ourselves a continuous target. This year, we made an application over the number of patent applications we targeted. Our students submitted 69 patent applications during a course. With the importance and support we give to this subject, we are working on making the patent a mandatory course in the coming periods”.
