2.2.6. Work on the issues of concluding intergovern- mental agreements on mutual protection of the results of intellectual activity and protection of intellectual property in the course of bilateral military and tech- nical cooperation

The governments of four foreign states that conduct military and technical cooperation with the Russian Federation have concluded agreements on mutual protection of the results of intellectual activity and protection of intellectual property in the course of such cooperation.

13 drafts of intergovernmental agreements on mutual pro- tection of the results of intellectual activity and protection of intellectual property were prepared and submitted in the course of bilateral military and technical cooperation. 14 counter drafts of said agreements were considered.

7 consultations were held with the authorized bodies of foreign states on the conclusion of intergovernmental agree- ments on mutual protection of the results of intellectual activity and protection of intellectual property in the course

of bilateral military and technical cooperation. 2017 REPORT ANNUAL

3 joint working groups have been established to ensure the 39 efficient implementation of the agreements concluded earlier.

In the format of earlier established joint working groups with the Russian Federation’s partners on military and tech- nical cooperation, the positions on a number of key issues for further cooperation in implementation of agreements were coordinated. In particular, the recommendations were agreed (approved by the heads of the joint working group) on introducing into the contracts (agreements) of the provisions concerning legal protection of the results of intellectual activity used and (or) obtained in the course of bilateral military and technical cooperation between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Armenia.

■■ Within the framework of the 15-th meeting of the Interstate Commission for Military and Economic Cooperation of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, the provision “On the Coordination Council under the CSTO ICMEC on the issues of mutual protection of rights to the results of intellectual activity, obtained and used in the course of military-economic cooperation within the CSTO framework” was approved.
