PATENT FILING IN RUSSIA

Unlike patent laws of other countries, Russian patent law does not require compulsion of having inventive step. Russian patent law grants patents on grounds of novelty and industrial applicability, which simplifies the process of grant of Patents in Russia. On contrary, due to this, it is crucial for patent claims to be broad enough to encompass any possible infringement.
