Patening Inventions in Russia

State registration of intellectual property objects is referred to the powers of the federal executive body. In Russia, this is the Federal Service for Intellectual Property (Rospatent).

Types of patents

The current Russian legislation, depending on the object of legal protection, provides for the issuance of:

• Patent for invention.
• Patent for a utility model.
• Patent for an industrial design.

Inventions

These technical solutions have world-wide novelty, an inventive step and are industrially applicable. After state registration of such a result of intellectual work, the patent holder is assigned exclusive rights to the claimed invention.

It is possible to officially accelerate the examination of the application at Rospatent.

The term of a patent for an invention is 20 years. The term of patent protection for medicines, pesticides and agrochemicals can be extended up to 25 years.

Evaluating the chances of obtaining a patent - international patent information search

Before filing an application, we recommend conducting an international patent information search (at the request of the client), in order to identify sources of information on similar or the same technical solutions and evaluate the chances of obtaining a patent.

Based on the search results, you will receive a report with recommendations on the expedience of patenting your technical solution and the recommended patenting object.
