Patenting Inventions

Under Russian legislation, an invention is a technical solution relating to a material object - a product (including a device, substance, microorganism strain, culture of plant or animal cells) or a method (a process of performing actions on a material object using material means), including the use of the product or method for a specific purpose. The criteria for patentability include novelty, industrial applicability, and inventive level (it should not be obvious to a specialist). An application for an invention can be filed for a group of inventions linked together by a single inventive concept (unity of invention requirement). The application for an invention undergoes a formal examination and a substantive examination, the request for which can be filed within three years from the date of application. The term of a patent for an invention is 20 years.
