XV International Youth Innovation and Development Competition "New Time" will take place within the Salon. The best inventors will be awarded diplomas and medals, and prizes.
Head of Rospatent Grigory Ivliev and Director of the Russian Federal Institute of Industrial Property (FIPS) Oleg Neretin welcomed the Salon participants.
"Dear inventors, Salon participants, we are pleased that Rospatent annually participates in the Salon. This event is obviously of great importance to us. The fact that inventors from many regions attend the Salon to showcase what they have created is extremely important. These inventions should be used in the economy. It is equally important that the Salon provides inventors with an opportunity to receive feedback and gain recognition. An inventor has an opportunity to obtain feedback from all over the country. The conventional priority is set for 6 months. Thus, the inventor who has demonstrated his/her invention during the exhibition has the right to file an application to Rospatent within the next 6 months. And we will recognize such a priority claim, which was officially announced during the Salon’s opening. We highly value that Sevastopol and Crimean inventors submit dozens of applications for inventions", - said Mr. Ivliev.
