New source of full text Russian patents

Originally published at Russian patents blog

I’ve stumbled upon a site which offers full text Russian patents for free – http://partkom.com

In fact, a year ago we attempted to set up a similar resource – except we dealt with english abstracts of Russian patents. Sadly, shortly after launching the project we discovered that Russian patent office totally redesigned their web site and access to english abstracts of Russian patents was totally gone (words of Soviet [...]

As I’ve mentioned on this blog previously, among other things we’re involved with there is a document delivery service – that’s basically delivery of Russian patents and articles from Russian scientific journals. However, from time to time we were asked to deliver articles from non-Russian journals, and, surprisingly (for us in the first place…), success rate was about 95%.

During last year I& [...]

We've just added a page "PCT filing in Russia " - it was promised long time ago but I managed to update our site's structure only yesterday. Of course the reason was another few inquiries I received recently re PCT filing from two foreign applicants.

Hopefully, this page will be of help to whose entering national phase in Russia it's a) short b) contains clear pricing structure c) provides references to previously translated patent [...]

What I enjoy most about being an infopro

Some time ago I came across an excellent blog post named The Best Part of This Job – Russ Krajec shared his thoughts on some advantages of being a patent attorney: “patent law is fun because the patent agent/attorney generally deals with happy, optimistic, and creative people. I often tell people that patent law is unique in that I only deal with happy people” – read the rest of the entry, it’s very inspiring. I [...]

In this post I'd like to share couple of thoughs on how it'd be possible to considerably lower down cost of translation of Russian patents into English (or whatever else language pair).

This week we received following inquiry from Spanish company:

We are looking for two RU Patents. In case these two documents are available IN ENGLISH, please, let us know the price & conditions of delivery.

As usually, I responde [...]

Comprehensive search in Russian literature (patent and non-patent)

dmitri@patentsfromru.com — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 03:00:00 +0100

Originally published at Russian Patents blog

Yesterday, while communicating on a matter of getting an old Russian patent, we received a question:

“If I may ask you, what is you service about? Do you have
access to scientific information other than patents? for the past 10
years we are involved in catechin and other biflavonoids research and
discovered that many studies have been conducted in Russia / USSR.”

Actually, I was under [...]

Announcement: Russian patents in English language

dmitri@patentsfromru.com — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 03:00:00 +0100

(Originally published at Russian Patents Blog )

This is to announce a new blog maintained by Patents from RU - http://technews.patentsfromru.com/

About half a year ago there was a question asked at LinkedIn:
“Is there a database available for Russian patent to get in English language?”

I contributed to answers (along with 5 other colleagues), and we agreed what getting Russian patents in English is a tough matter.

It seems that this very ques [...]

Today I was responding to an inquiry from Israel re process and cost of trademark registration in Russia, and upon finishing my letter I thought that this matter might be of interest to somebody else, so I’m posting it here.

Few words re Russian patent prior art search issues

dmitri@patentsfromru.com — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:00:00 +0100

[Originally published at Russian Patents Blog ]

Russian patent prior art search seems to be in demand lately - if in the past we received roughly 1 order annually, then this year we’ve been occupied with it continuosly, there is even a small queue for next search.

We’ve finished another Russian patent prior art search project back in mid-June, and I feel like saying couple of words about it.

The order was placed with us by a large US IP company, and the only co [...]

Report: Foreign Trade Mark Registrations in Russia in 2008

dmitri@patentsfromru.com — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 03:00:00 +0100

I'm reposting today's Russian Patents Blog topic.

We've been gathering data for our very own inhouse database of trade mark applications filed with Russian Patent Office, and while doing manual double checking of all entries for consistency, I've been making notes of trade marks which catched my attention - these being mostly by foreign applicants and attempts to infringe on well known marks (these will be subject of my next post).

I'm not making it a point to [...]

Just a couple of words on how mindblowingly creative counterfeiters might be…

Today I was given a sealed blanc DVD-R disc - a friend just wanted me to burn recent photos for him.
I was about to rip plastic open, but then a got a familiar feeling again - “what’s wrong with that Hugo Boss logo on disc? Why does it miss H?”
