RBC: the Russian Defense Ministry filed a lawsuit against the inventor of the method of “target direction”

The lawsuit against Herman entered the Intellectual Property Court on February 18, indicates RBC with reference to the court. The third parties in the lawsuit were the Ryazan Instrument Plant, the Mil and Kamov Helicopter Center and the Federal Service for Intellectual Property. According to RBC Herman, he learned about the lawsuit from a journalist of the publication. According to Herman, he created a service invention, which at the Ryazan plant was given the status of a “secret of production”. According to the assumption of the inventor, state departments are challenging the issue of possessing a patent for the invention of a method of target targeting by a radar system installed on a rotorcraft. Patent attorney, managing partner of the company "Zuykov and Partners" Sergey Zuykov noted that the rights to official secrets and inventions usually belong to the employer, but Rospatent still issued several patents, in which their owner is listed personally Herman. According to Zuykov, the court will understand why German himself became the owner of the patent, whether the controversial patent was created as part of the performance of official duties and whether it should belong to Russia. He specified that the patent can remain with the inventor if the know-how was created before hiring or outside the scope of official duties. According to Herman, having received a patent in his name, he “observed the interests of the country”, and “the right to invention remained in Russia”. In December, the head of the Federal Service for Intellectual Property (Rospatent) Yuri Zubov said that in Russia there was a noticeable increase in inventive activity - at the end of the year there was an increase in applications from domestic developers by 4%.
