Last September 9, 2019, five of the Contracting States of the Eurasian Patent Convention (EAPC) signed the Protocol on the Protection of Industrial Designs: Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Kazakhstan and Russia.
This Protocol extends its protection in the field of the industrial designs in order to make the Eurasian patent system more attractive and beneficial for EAPC Contracting States.
Once the Protocol is in force, a Eurasian patent for an industrial design can be obtained to be effective in the territory of the Contracting States of the EAPC that ratified or joined the Protocol.
