Patenting Technologies and Ideas

The creation of any intellectual property object is preceded by the emergence and development of an idea.

An idea is an intangible prototype of a future object. According to paragraph 5 Article 1259 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, ideas are not protected by copyright. There are also no provisions on their protection in the patent law section.

However, from the moment when the author's ideas are embodied in a material result, the idea will turn into an object of legal protection. According to the norms of Part 4 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, an idea can become a copyright object, invention, industrial design, utility model, computer program, means of individualization or know-how.

The technical solutions include physically registered ideas in the field of devices, process, methods, compositions of substances and others. Depending on the level of complexity, degree of novelty and capability of industrial application, technical solutions will be protected as inventions or utility models.

The creator has the right to apply to Rospatent for registration of the result of creative work and obtain a patent.

Zuykov and partners will help you fill out the application and will correspond with the patent office. The company's lawyers will tell you how to register a technical solution and will give you advice on any issue that may arise.
