The first thousand industrial design applications in the Eurasian Patent Office

The Eurasian Patent Office has recently received its first one thousand industrial design applications.

Established in 2021, the Eurasian system for patenting industrial designs has quickly gained popularity over the past three years. A wide range of designs can be patented, including packaging, household items, drawings, graphic images, and user interface pages.

Each Eurasian application can encompass up to 100 industrial designs within the same class of the International Classification of Industrial Designs.

Since its inception, the Eurasian Patent Office has examined over 2,300 industrial designs. In 2021, there were 92 applications for 190 designs, followed by 233 applications for 639 designs in 2022, and 369 applications for 860 designs in 2023. This year, more than 300 applications for 700 designs have already been submitted.

This system allows patent holders to protect up to 100 designs with a single patent valid in the territory of the eight states of the Eurasian Patent Organization (Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan), showcasing the efficiency and relevance of the Eurasian system amidst high demand for industrial design protection in the region.
