We trusted the team at Online Patent and managed to register new trademarks and industrial designs with the minimal effort. We no longer need to spend time searching for the right partner in the field of IP protection – we can easily implement our projects with the support of Online Patent.
Online Patent is a reliable partner with a proved expertise which we can always rely on. The management and staff are highly professional and are able to maintain a constructive conversation. We managed to register several trademarks, one utility model patent, and are planning to continue working on the registration portfolio for an ever-expanding range of products of the company.
Over the years of cooperation, Online Patent has established itself as a reliable partner providing consistently high quality of a wide range of services related to the registration of such IP objects as trademarks and software products.
We managed to register a database for one of the major university projects for the development of a digital educational environment with Online Patent. We were impressed by the diligence, convenience of service and qualified consulting support.
To have your own brand protected by a trademark is one of the important elements of business development in retail. High level of professionalism and the right attitude is what set the tone to our collaboration with Online Patent. During our cooperation, the company established itself as a reliable partner capable of solving complex, non-trivial issues.
Interface and functionality of the system is exactly what was lacking in managing a lot of trademarks, which we already have over 50. And the application process is very clear! Being able to keep track of the office work and maintain synchronized registers in other countries is an important step in automating IP management in our company. Everything is very easy to use. We are now waiting for the remaining countries for our portfolio to be added. It's nice that the system is updated with new features upon our requests.

The examination process usually takes 62 business days. Sometimes it happens faster, but currently there is no guaranteed way to speed it up.
The novelty and uniqueness of the software are not verified at all. Any program containing at least several lines of a computer code can be registered. Registration is made in a declarative manner, all information filed by the applicant is accepted by the Russian Patent Office “as is”.
In the event that the software is developed as part of the official duties of the employees, or as part of an official task implementation, the exclusive rights to this software belong to the employing company. If an employee created it in their free time without using technical means belonging to the company, and it has nothing to do with their official duties — the rights to this software belong to this employee as an individual.
The amount to be paid by a legal entity is ₽4,500, and ₽3,000 — by an individual. If the application is filed by several parties, they pay a fee in equal shares.
No, software registration does not imply maintenance fees payment to keep a certificate valid. The term of legal protection of a piece of software is 70 years from the date of death of the last one of the co-authors.
When you register a software, you get legal protection for a specific piece of code, not for the algorithms underlying it. In this regard, if someone rewrites your program in another programming language, it will not violate your exclusive rights.
