Patent No.: 2771574
The largest Russian taxi services provider has patented an on-board camera that can detect signs of fatigue, drowsiness or disability of the driver.
The device consists of a case, a hardware part and a unit for attachment to the surface of the vehicle. The case is in the form of an open convex surface. It is connected to the attachment unit in a way that allows to change its working angles. The extended view of the device allows faster and more accurate detection of signs of impairment of the driver’s condition, in which case an alarm is activated.
It is expected that indicators related to the current physical condition of the driver will significantly reduce the risk of road accidents.

Patent No.: 2771768
Titanium dioxide is often used in the manufacture of solar cells and electronic equipment materials. The patent describes a method for producing nanoscale titanium dioxide modified with plasmonic nanoparticles of silver and gold. Modification of nanoscale titanium dioxide by metallic plasmonic nanoparticles imparts certain optical properties to the material, namely – additional absorption wavelengths in ranges of 390-420 nm and 500-600 nm.
The resulting material will be used for highly efficient solar cells and electronic equipment materials.
On May 25, 2022, Deputy Head of Rospatent Mr. Andrey Solonovich took part in the annual conference of the Association of European Businesses (AEB) “Intellectual Property Rights: recent trends, court practices, problems and solutions”.
In his report Mr. Andrey Solonovich spoke about Russia’s future accession to the Lisbon System, the adoption of an amended version of the law on patent attorneys, the implementation of the law on electronic titles of protection and 3D models, the procedure of preliminary patent search by organizations accredited by Rospatent, as well as on tax incentives in the field of intellectual property.
The event was also attended by AEB CEO Tadzio Schilling, Vice President of the Eurasian Patent Office Emil Mammadov, government officials and representatives of Russian and foreign companies.
Patent No.: 2772504
Identification of factors that determine the behavior of the tumor during the development of cancer is an important task for subsequent treatment. For these purposes, a large number of tools are available to the doctors. One of these tools is the molecular study of genes that greatly influences the development of the disease. To know how exactly the disease develops is essential for the optimal choice of therapy. This is also true for such a tumor as follicular lymphoma, a type of blood cancer. It is the second most common form of the so-called non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
For the effective treatment of this disease, it is important to determine the presence of a defect in the SESN1 gene, which determines the pace of development of the disease.
A team of scientists from the National Medical Research Center of Hematology of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation have developed a test system for determining the SESN1 gene defect by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The test system allows to identify patients with an unfavorable course of follicular lymphoma by the presence of significant deletions of the SESN1 gene.
The patented test system can be easily used in most molecular genetic laboratories and provides an informative diagnostic aimed at identifying the specified marker, which helps in choosing the correct treatment for patients.
