Registration of Computer Programs and Databases with Rospatent

It is not mandatory to register a creative work to enjoy copyright protection. However, when it comes to computer programs and databases, registration with Rospatent in the name of the rights holder is an option. This registration can lead to the issuance of a certificate of state registration for a computer program, database, or integrated circuit topology. Such a certificate serves as tangible evidence of exclusive rights. We offer services for preparing the requisite documentation for computer program registration with the Federal Institute of Industrial Property and provide guidance on matters concerning the legal protection, defense, and management of intellectual property rights related to computer programs. We are also equipped to assist in the registration of software with the Ministry of Digital Property’s Register.
