Russia - launch of Russian esp@cenet

Last week the Russian esp@cenet was launched, providing online access in the Russian language to over 60 million patent documents. The establishment of the service has been a joint project of the European Patent Office (EPO) and the Russian Federal Service for Intellectual Property, Patents and Trademarks (RosPatent).

“The EPO has been co-operating with Rospatent in the framework of the CIS and Mongolia project since the 1990s. The two offices signed a Memorandum of Understanding, with a focus on patent information promotion, at a meeting in April this year.“
