Russian patent holders to watch Nanoproducts closely
Russian state authorities consider majority of products, carrying “nano†prefix, to speculate on a trendy term.
This is a hot topic currently in Russia due to new Intellectual Property Rights Law to come in effect as of January 1, 2008.
A solution lies in compilation of a classification system for nanotechnological products. State officials also point at the necessity of performing thorough and complex safety studies of products and materials, used in and produced by means of nanotechnologies. The rest of the world also lacks a complete solution for this problem.
Another burning issue is protection of developers’ rights, solving which will make a great contribution to innovation economy. Latest amendments to nanotech legislation regulate federal technologies and Russian patent attorneys.
