Eurasian Patent Office

The Eurasian Patent Office website is the official platform for the intergovernmental organization that administers the Eurasian Patent System, providing patent protection across multiple former Soviet states through a single application. The EAPO grants Eurasian patents that are valid in all contracting states, which currently include Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan. This eliminates the need for applicants to file separate national patent applications in each of these countries, significantly reducing the cost and complexity of obtaining patent protection across the Eurasian region. The website provides access to the Eurasian patent database, legal texts, procedural guidelines, and examination standards used by the office. For companies and inventors seeking intellectual property protection in the Eurasian market, the EAPO website is the primary resource for understanding the filing requirements, searching existing patents, and monitoring the status of pending applications.
