Welcome to another insightful episode (#71) of the Patent Effect Podcast, where we dive into a critical topic for Türkiye’s and the global pharmaceutical and IP landscape: Bolar Exemption in Türkiye – Balancing Innovation and Access.

This week, Mustafa Cakir sits down with Ecem Gökçe Yağmur and Mert Parlar from SIMAJ (Our sponsor for this episode) to unpack one of the most important, and sometimes misunderstood, legal mechanisms in pharma patents: the Bolar Exemption.

In this episode, we cover:

  • What the Bolar Exemption is and how it works

  • How it entered EU and Turkish law

  • What activities are allowed (and not allowed) under this exemption

  • Its impact on innovators, generic companies, and public health

    • The bigger picture: balancing innovation, competition, and patient access


    Whether you’re a patent attorney, in-house counsel, researcher, or policy-maker, this episode will give you valuable insights into one of the most debated aspects of pharma patent law.
