United States:

To print this article, all you need is to be registered or login on Mondaq.com.
Russia's new Intellectual Property Court is now open for
business, with 16 judges hearing trade secret, patent, trademark
and other IP disputes.
The IP Court was officially established in 2011, and it started operation in Moscow on July 3,
2013.
The jurisdiction of the IP Court is limited: it handles cases
involving disputes over the establishment and validity of IP rights
as a court of first instance, and IP infringement cases as an
appellate or cassation court. Civil cases on copyright
protection, as well as criminal and administrative cases, are
outside its jurisdiction. However, IP experts believe that it is
only a matter of time before the court's jurisdiction is expanded to include more types of IP
disputes.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
