New Tales of Old // Mondaq

Mondaq published an article "New Tales of Old" by Vladimir Biriulin, Partner, Russian Patent Attorney (Gorodissky & Partners, Moscow).

The article discusses the U.S. Trade Representative's annual Special 301 Report for 2025 focusing on the intellectual property (IP) situation in Russia. It criticizes the report for containing outdated and misleading information, including allegations that Russia undermines foreign IP rights through decrees like Decree 299, which was later revoked. The author argues that these statements create a false perception of Russia's IP landscape, emphasizing that Russian courts actually enforce adequate protections for foreign IP holders.
