Since June 1, 2021 the Eurasian Patent Office has started
accepting and examining applications for the issuance of Eurasian
patents for industrial designs, which allows obtaining legal
protection for an industrial design simultaneously in several
member states of the Eurasian Patent Convention.
On December 31, 2021, the President of Belarus signed the Law
No. 137-Z "On the Accession of the Republic of Belarus to the
Protocol on the protection of industrial designs to the Eurasian
Patent Convention of September 9, 1994". The Protocol on the
protection of industrial designs will enter into force for Belarus
three months after the deposit of the relevant Act of accession
with the depositary.
Thus, after the entry into force of the Protocol for Belarus,
the Eurasian patent for an industrial design will be valid on the
territory of seven countries: Azerbaijan, Armenia, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Belarus.
