In August 2016 Rospatent has initiated a public discussion on provisional applications and licensing of unregistered patents in Russia.
In Rospatent’s view, provisional applications are designed to establish an effective 12-month term, within which applicants may file their non-provisional (“ordinary”) applications. In order to register a provisional application an applicant should disclose a technical decision of the invention or utility model and pay a patent fee.
