Description

Our Bureau was established in 1994 and is based on experts from the E.O.Paton Electric Welding Institute in Kiev with long-term experience in patent branch. This Institute was one of the largest centers of applied research and technology in the former Soviet Union (more then 7000 employers, including 3000 in R&D alone) and also one of world leaders in the field of welding and related topics (about 1500 foreign patents). Also experts which have a knowledge in modern technology and wide experience in R&D, innovations, and protection of industrial property were invited from other institutions.

We provide an identification of patentable inventions, drafting and filing of application for patents for inventions, utility models, industrial designs and trade marks, conduct of an examination proceedings before the Patent Office, portfolio management, drafting of assignment or licensing contracts, management of client’s disputes in respect of intellectual property, consultations etc. We have experience both in traditional and in high technologies: materials, treatments of materials, especially all kinds of welding of almost all materials anywhere including space and underwater, metallurgy, engineering, mechanics, electronics, informatics and telecommunications, optoelectronics, lasers, optics, instrumentation, chemistry, biotechnology, medicine, food and packing technology and others.

It is notorious that in the Soviet Union all kinds of activity were strictly centralized and especially any contacts with abroad were prerogative of Moscow. This is a reason why that time nobody from Paton Institute’s Patent Office processing about 400 applications for inventions annually had any contact with patent firms and patent attorneys in West in spite of the fact that Paton Institute has received many hundreds patents in foreign countries. Though our Patent Office drafted all applications and amendments for these patents the information exchange with patent firms and patent attorneys abroad was carried out via Sojuzpatent in Moscow. We sent all materials of application to Moscow and then the Sojuzpatent sent them abroad. So we could learn what foreign firm assisted us in filing of application and granting of patent only after receiving of patent by our Institute. We could not choose partners abroad: the Sojuzpatent did it. As a rule number of these firms was 3-4 per country, for example, all Paton Institute’s patent in United Kingdom were obtained via 4 British firms.
