With patent commercialization, the value of the patent increases even more. In order for patents to be commercialized, first of all, the inventions that are the subject of the patent must be effectively introduced to potential customers. It is important to determine the stage of promotion of patents to potential customers and the market share of patented products. Considering the market aspect in patent commercialization, in this study, it has been tried to evaluate the patents in terms of Business Readiness Level BRL (Business Readiness Level) scale (Raghu, 2017) by using the patent maturity test of university patents. For this purpose, a literature study on Business Readiness Level BRL (Business Readiness Level), Technology Readiness Level TRL (Technology Readiness Level) and patent maturity was conducted. A survey was conducted with the inventors of the patents owned by Fırat University and the patent applications made. In line with the data obtained from the surveys, evaluations were made regarding the TRL and BRL levels of the patents. As a result of this study, it has been determined that the technological readiness level (TRL) of the patents of Fırat University is at a good level. Despite the high level recorded in TRL, it was determined that the job readiness level (BRL) was not high. Suggestions have been made to achieve an increase in the Business Readiness Level (BRL).
