Ludmila Lisovskaya's Article Published in China IP

An article by Ludmila Lisovskaya, "Patent Term Extension in Russia and the Eurasian Patent System: Legal Challenges and Judicial Trends," has been published in China IP.

Patent term extension is an important legal mechanism designed to compensate patent holders for the time required to obtain regulatory approvals before certain products can be placed on the market. This issue is particularly significant in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors, where regulatory approval procedures may take several years and substantially reduce the effective period of patent protection.

The article examines the mechanisms for patent term extension in the Russian Federation and under the Eurasian Patent Convention, analyzes the principal legal grounds for challenging such extensions, and reviews recent judicial developments that influence the interpretation and application of the relevant legal provisions.
