First Electronic Application for Invention in Ukraine

After working for almost five years on introducing electronic applications, at the beginning of June the Ukrainian Industrial Property Institute received the first electronic application for an invention complete with the digital signature.

The application was prepared and submitted by the patent attorney Tatiana Lisna on behalf of the applicant Taktona, LLC, for an invention in the field of internal combustion engines.

As stated by the Deputy Chairman of the State Department of Intellectual Property Vladimir Dmitrishin, the transition to the paperless form is very important as it will substantially simplify the filing of applications and make the obtaining of industrial property rights procedure faster and cheaper.
