This paper extends the Takahashi-Umezawa method of finding invariants for classical field-theoretic models to quantum systems modelled on Minkowski spaces. More precisely, explicit formulae are found for the conserved currents for linear equations of motion imposed on the quantum Minkowski spaces, which are endowed with the quantum Poincaré group action of Woronowicz and Podleś, and with the noncommutative differential calculus of Podleś. This general result is applied in concrete examples like the Klein-Gordon equation, Dirac equation, and the wave equation, where symmetry operators of the equation are obtained from the quantized classical symmetry operators, and from the transformation operators arising from the `noncommutative' Leibniz rule of the noncommutative differential calculus on the quantum Minkowski spaces.
