Preparation of Applications for Inventions Created in the Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Troops

Abstract

Patenting of inventions is the basis of the independence of the Russian Federation in the sphere of high technologies, including dual-use ones. Th e purpose of this work is to review the main approaches to the legal protection of inventions in the Russian Federation. Th e ignorance of these approaches becomes one of the main obstacles to the eff ective patenting of inventions created at the scientifi c research institutes of the NBC Protection Troops. Th e paper is dedicated to the detailed consideration of particular problems, such as the correctness of the title of invention, the importance of clear indication of the purpose of the invention and its closest analogue, the danger of the confusion between technical problems and technical results ect. Th e ignorance of these aspects oft en leads to the delay in the substantive examination of patent applications. Special attention is paid to the procedure of patenting secret inventions and their status. Th e internal logic of the creation of intellectual property objects that should be taken into account during the patenting is shown at the example of patenting antidotes for organophosphorus toxic substances, based on hexahistidine-containing organophosphorus hydrolase. Th e Russian patent system is modern, incorporated into existing international agreements and provides Russian inventors and patent owners all the opportunities for competition in the Russian and world high technology markets. Th e reasons for delays in the substantive examination of patent applications, as well as for the ineffi ciency of patenting inventions in the NBC Protection Troops are purely subjective – poor knowledge of the Russian patent system and MoD orders, and the lack of motivation in opposing patent colonization of Russia
