PATENTING SUPPORT

The Patent Support Program upholds the contribution of ISTC projects and their participants to new inventions and ideas that have commercial value. The ISTC Secretariat administers this program to provide financial support to CIS institutes. Program funds are used to pay costs associated with the initial stages of patenting.
Activity in 2004

Recipient Institutes submitted to the Secretariat 21 Records of Invention as notifications of potential inventions made under the ISTC funded projects.

The Secretariat received 7 applications and provided financial support to 4 patent applications arising from ISTC project results for the amount of US$7,491. 3 national (Russian) and 5 PCT patent applications were filed.
IPR Working Group

With the objective to strengthen the ISTC’s role and services in the area of Intellectual Property Rights the ISTC Parties have decided to establish a special Working Group on IPR issues (ISTC IPR WG). Both IPR experts and policy persons will form the Working Group.
