Dispute Resolution in Intellectual Property in the Eurasian Region: Joint Monograph / Ed. by G. Ivliev and T. Neshataeva. Moscow: Publishing House “Gorodets”, 2024. – 200 p.
The Eurasian Patent Office handles disputes on the validity of Eurasian patents through an administrative procedure that does not allow for the right to appeal the decisions in court. Additionally, disputes are handled in accordance with the procedure set forth by the procedural legislation of the state in which the patent is declared invalid. The Eurasian system of resolving disputes pertaining to intellectual property in general and the protectability of industrial property in particular is complex for all interested parties. Moreover, it hinders the development of consistent case law regarding the same IP types, which adversely affects the innovation attractiveness of states and the region in general. The latter can be enhanced by integrating solely national IP dispute resolution systems currently functioning in the Eurasian region into the regional one.
The book analyzes the current approaches to dispute resolution in the Eurasian Patent Organization Member States, the European Union, and a number of other states, evaluates the experience of creation and functioning of international and supranational courts in the Eurasian space in order to determine possible concepts for the establishment of a regional (Eurasian) system of dispute resolution in the field of intellectual property. The authors of the book pay special attention to the competence of the Court of the Eurasian Economic Union.
The target audience of this book includes legal professionals specialized in international law and intellectual property, as well as students, postgraduates, and professors of legal studies.
