ABOUT THE EDITION
This publication was prepared to inform members of the business community as well as inventors of the world about Russian patent attorneys
Russian patent attorneys are specialists in the field of protection and registration of intellectual property rights, who have passed the state certification in the Federal service for intellectual property (Rospatent) and can represent the interests of foreign applicants before Rospatent
Russian patent attorneys may be certified in respect of nine different objects of intellectual property and represent the interests of the principals before Rospatent, depending on the specialization obtained as a result of certification, upon receipt of Russian patents for inventions, utility models, industrial designs, and upon registration of trademarks, service marks, appellations of origin of goods, computer programs, databases and topologies of integrated circuits in Russia.
Among the Russian patent attorneys, there are attorneys who have also passed additional certification at the Eurasian patent office (EAPO), and have the status of Eurasian patent attorneys, which allows them to represent the interests of the principals before the EAPO in obtaining Eurasian patents for the invention, which operate in eight CIS States that are States parties to the Eurasian patent Convention, including in Russia.
All data in the directory are given on official sources of information as of January 10, 2019.
The main activity of patent attorneys is aimed at identifying the essence of inventions and utility models, and compiling their descriptions and formulas that provide the maximum amount of exclusive rights acquired as a result of registration, and also consists in the correct preparation and execution of sets of documents necessary for obtaining patents for inventions, utility models and industrial designs, as well as for registration of trademarks, service marks and appellations of origin of goods, computer programs, databases and topologies of integrated circuits.
According to Art. 1247 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, a citizen of the Russian Federation permanently residing in its territory may be registered as a patent attorney. Other requirements to the patent attorney, the procedure for its certification and registration, as well as its competence in relation to the conduct of cases related to the legal protection of the results of intellectual activity and means of individualization are established by law.
Citizens permanently residing outside the territory of the Russian Federation and foreign legal entities conduct business with the Federal Executive body for intellectual property through patent attorneys registered with the said Federal body, unless otherwise provided by an international Treaty of the Russian Federation.
In the Russian Federation it is the Federal law of December 30, 2008 N 316-FZ “About patent attorneys” in which more extended definition of the patent attorney is given:
“Patent attorneys are citizens who have received the status of a patent attorney in accordance with this Federal law and carry out activities related to the legal protection of the results of intellectual activity and means of individualization, protection of intellectual rights, acquisition of exclusive rights to the results of intellectual activity and means of individualization, disposal of such rights.
