Invention as a result of scientific and technical creativity
international practice of legal defence
Abstract
The article presents the scientific and theoretical analysis of the legal regime of the invention, especially the acquisition of patent rights for inventions, as well as the scope and content of exclusive patent rights for inventions in foreign countries. It is generally recognized that the most common and significant result of scientific and technical creativity are inventions with high social and economic significance, which necessitated the legal regulation of relations related to the creation, design and use of inventions. The term “invention” in the human mind reflects a reality that exists independently of law, since the invention is not a legal but a natural- technical category and the creation of inventions, as well as their use, has not always been associated with legal regulation. The term “invention” in technical, philosophical, and fiction refers to something new, original (new technology, construction). In patent law, this term has a narrower and strictly defined content: here we are talking about a legally significant, patentable invention, therefore, in the specialized literature they speak about an invention in a technical sense and about an invention as an object of legal protection. It follows that a person who considers himself an inventor can officially be recognized as such only if a patent for the invention is obtained. This title of protection shall be issued if the object requested to be recognized as an invention meets the patentability criteria established by law. The acquisition (registration) of patent rights to an invention requires the passage of a number of formalities, and quite complex. The purpose of this article is to analyze the mechanism of legal protection of inventions in foreign countries, taking into account the unification of international and European legislation in the field of patent law, as well as to reveal the features of the procedure for acquiring (registering) patent rights to inventions in foreign countries.
