The article, written by Grigory Ivliev, President of the Eurasian Patent Office and Head of Research at the Federal Institute of Industrial Property, examines the primary strategic goals for improving of intellectual property in the Eurasian region.

The author focuses both on the goals at the regional level and the enhancement of national legal regulation in IP.

Given the importance of the results of creative activity for global development, Grigory Ivliev highlights that it is necessary to widely implement the results of creative activity in patenting procedures and thus exclude their protection as trade secrets (know-how).

The author also mentions the importance of improving approaches to financial encouragement for creative activity in general and innovation in particular, as well as the expediency of achieving a balance of interests among users, right holders, and authors of protectable subject matters by raising the guaranteed payments due to them.

Grigory Ivliev pays attention to the harmonization of norms of national and regional patent legislation and the associated improvement in the system of legal acts, including through the use of guidelines and a better determination of their legal status.

The expansion of the number of subject matters of regional legal protection and the creation of Eurasian jurisdiction in IP are described as medium-term goals of IP in the Eurasian region.
