Patent attorneys of LEXPATENT LLC at the conference of the Assembly of Eurasian Patent Attorneys

On June 12-14, Svetlana Koroleva and Tatyana Vashuk took an active part in the international conference of the Assembly of Eurasian Patent Attorneys "AEPА-2025", held in Yerevan with the support of the Eurasian Patent Office. The conference was held under the general theme "The Eurasian Patent System as a Driver of Regional Economic Development" and was devoted to procedural issues of registering trademarks in national offices, patenting inventions in Eurasia, issues of liability of Internet platforms for infringement of IP rights, the practice of compulsory licensing, unfair competition, patenting industrial designs and prospects for interaction between international IP organizations.

As part of the round table held by the Russian Licensing Society on the topic "Compulsory Licensing in the Eurasian Region: Legal Aspects, International Experience and Prospects for Practical Application", Svetlana Koroleva made a presentation revealing the practical experience of LEXPATENT LLC in the field of compulsory licensing. In the judicial practice of Belarus, only two cases on the issuance of compulsory licenses have been considered to date. In both cases, the interests of the right holders were represented by patent attorneys of LEXPATENT. The decisions in both cases were made in favor of our clients!

Tatyana Vashuk, speaking in the section "Advantages of protecting industrial design objects as an industrial design compared to copyright", spoke about her personal successful experience of defending the interests of a client of the LEXPATENT company when filing and considering an objection to the issuance of a Eurasian patent for an industrial design using the example of a case recently considered by the Appeals Council. It is interesting that such a case was considered in Belarus for the first time.
