The Russian Federation’s Participation in International Intellectual Property Protection Agreements in order to Support the Country’s Technological Leadership
Congress Centre, conference hall B4
The last few decades have seen Russia’s integration into global economic and legal systems, while the goal of becoming one of the world’s technological leaders has been among the country’s national priorities. Intellectual property is the basis for technological development, while the registration of rights to intellectual property is one of the key conditions for entry to foreign markets. Foreign economic activity, including the export of goods and the registration of intellectual property rights abroad, was encouraged by the Russian government. How have the goals changed given the changed global political situation? What are the latest trends in the development of international agreements on the protection of intellectual property rights abroad? What is Russia’s place in the global intellectual property system? What problems do Russian copyright holders face in terms of protecting their inventions in foreign markets? What problems is the domestic Russian market currently facing in terms of the intellectual property rights of foreign copyright holders in the context of the sanctions, and how can they be resolved?
