I. GENERAL OVERVIEW OF RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN INDUSTRIAL DESIGN INFORMATION ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT BY THE OFFICE

Information on the following topics is desired:

Comprehensive information about Rospatent's activities in 2024 and future plans is available in its Annual Report in English: https://rospatent.gov.ru/content/uploadfiles/1/RP-AR-2024-ENG.pdf

...

  • Specific software tools supporting business procedures within the Office: general description, characteristics, advantages, possible improvements

    See paragraph 2.1 of the Annual Report (page 46).
    In 2024, operation and development continued for the nine State information systems and five information systems. The technologies applied in their creation have enabled:

    1. Improvement of full-scale search across Russian and international patent documentation collections.

    2. Optimization of the decision-making process during formal examinations (fee accounting, initial verification of application documentation) to determine the possibility of performing legally significant actions, aiming to reduce time costs for decision-making.

    3. Issuance of an electronic title of protection and register extracts. The rights holder has access to the electronic document throughout its validity period and can submit such an electronic document to other authorities.

    4. Enhancement of the quality of informational search for similar images during substantive examination.

    5. Provision to applicants of the capability to file 3D models of the claimed objects within application materials.

    6. Increased efficiency of management decisions through the formation of electronic data arrays.

    7. Formation of electronic arrays of reference information, improved coordination of integration interaction, both between internal systems and between different Federal executive authorities and International authorities.
      The implementation of the new information infrastructure utilized modern approaches and technologies, unifying Rospatent's operational processes. Data exchange within the infrastructure is based on a unified data model compliant with international standards. Integration between systems was ensured using a common enterprise service bus, allowing for future development of the integration platform. The capability for programmatic integration with Rospatent's public services was provided.
      Rospatent's main plans for 2025 include further development of the created information systems and services, as well as the design and implementation of new technologies into the process of providing the agency's state services.

    In 2024, examiners and external users were given the opportunity to conduct searches for industrial designs on the new Rospatent search platform: https://searchplatform.rospatent.gov.ru/


  • Administrative management electronic systems (register, legal status, statistics, and administrative support)

See paragraph 2.1 of the Annual Report (pages 46-48).

Acceptance of industrial design applications for consideration is carried out via personal accounts of electronic services available on the Office's website and the Unified Portal of State Services.
Registration of industrial design applications is performed in a unified application and incoming correspondence registration system; data is stored in a unified data warehouse; examination of application materials is carried out within an electronic document management system.
The information system for converting documents from traditional formats to digital prepares documents in modern formats for subsequent formation of electronic application files and examination of documents during the provision of state services.
The unified document repository ensures the preservation of documents and structured data in the WIPO ST.96 standard format as part of providing state services.
The electronic document management system for examining industrial design applications provides access to application files, preparation of outgoing correspondence, control over all lifecycle processes of an application from filing to the examination decision, and monitoring of correspondence processing timelines and examination deadlines.

V. PROMOTION ACTIVITIES AIMED TO SUPPORT USERS IN ACCESS AND EFFICIENT USE OF INDUSTRIAL DESIGN INFORMATION

...

...

  • International exchange of industrial design information in machine-readable form (e.g., Official Gazettes)
    Within the international exchange of information on industrial designs, FIPS publishes official Rospatent bulletins containing industrial design information on the FIPS FTP-server. Access is provided via login and password to the patent Offices of 47 foreign countries and 2 international organizations. In 2024, 62 design bulletins from 3 countries were added to the Design Collection: 13 paper bulletins, 13 bulletins on optical disks, and 36 bulletins downloaded from foreign patent Offices' websites.

  • Participation in international or regional activities and projects related to industrial design information

See Section 4 of the Annual Report
