Вступил в силу принятый закон о том, что в Европейский Офис по интеллектуальной собственности НЕ будет принимать заявки на патенты и трейдмарки и пр. от граждан и компаний из России. Даже в сотрудничестве с европейскими коллегами.
Грустно все это.
In late June the EU extended their package of sanctions in view of Russia’s actions in Ukraine by way of Council Regulation (EU) 2024/1745 of 24 June 2024.
Article 5s of those sanctions contain measures applicable to European Union (EU) intellectual property offices (IPOs), such as the EUIPO and national IPOs of member states of the EU. The sanctions state that these IPOs shall not accept
(a) new applications for registration of trademarks, patents, industrial designs, utility models, protected designations of origin, and geographical indications filed by Russian nationals or natural persons residing in Russia, or by legal persons, entities or bodies established in Russia, including if jointly filed by a Russian national or natural persons residing in Russia, legal persons, entities or bodies established in Russia with one or more non-Russian natural or legal person resident or established outside of Russia;
(b) any requests or submission filed by Russian nationals or natural persons residing in Russia, or by legal persons, entities or bodies established in Russia during the registration procedures before such intellectual property offices related to any of the intellectual property rights referred to in point (a).
