Compressive properties of cell structures manufactured by photo-curing technology liquid polymer resins – Polyjet Matrix

The article presents the results of compressive strength tests of cylindrical samples with a hexagonal cell structure. The samples were made of MED 610 material using the photo-curing technology liquid polymer resins. The compressive strength was estimated on the basis of a static compression test of the printed elements. It has been shown that the PolyJet Matrix 3D printing technology enables the printing models with a thin-walled cell structure, which, while maintaining the appropriate strength properties, can be used in the design and production of certain utility models.

Key issues of legal regulation of the supplementary protection of inventions in the field of pharmacy in the national legislation of Ukraine

Keywords: supplementary protection certificate, basic patent, procedure for obtainingsupplementary protection certificate Key issues of legal regulation of the supplementary protection of inventionsin the field of pharmacy in the national legislation of UkraineThe article is devoted to the study of key issues of legal regulation of supplementaryprotection of inventions after the adoption of the Law of Ukraine «On Amendmentsto Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Patent Legislation Reform» in the absenceof bylaws to regulate the procedure for issuing supplementary protection certificates.The study also highlights the main shortcomings and gaps in the regulation ofcertain issues of application of supplementary protection certificates in the currentLaw of Ukraine «On protection of rights to inventions and utility models.»The author in details analyses European Union approaches to definition of thesubject matter of the supplementary protection, providing criteria which are recommendedto use in order to decide whether the product is covered by the basicpatent in force. Also, the paper is focusing on the issues related to verification ofdata and materials provided together with the application for a certificate — suchas whether the requirement that the medicinal product must be submitted formarketing authorization in Ukraine no later than during one year after it’s first marketing authorization in the world, whether the authorization provided is thefirst authorization in Ukraine, etc.Another problem which is highlighted in the study is the application of the rule tosubmit the petition for obtaining supplementary protection to those patents and marketingauthorizations which were issued before the amendments to the Law came inforce, as this question remained unresolved due to the lack of transitional provisionsin the Law. Also author points out the necessity to align the provisions of the Article271 of the Law of Ukraine «On Protection of Rights to Inventions and Utility Models»regarding the definition of the subject matter of supplementary protection in accordancewith patent legislation by excluding application of the medicinal product fromthe list as it is not patentable according to Ukrainian law. In addition, the author emphasizedthe urge to adopt relevant bylaws (procedure) regulating the issue of certificatesof supplementary protection.

INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF INDUSTRY IN THE CONTEXT OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STATE REGIONAL POLICY GOALS

The article emphasizes that increasing of efficiency and competitiveness of Ukrainian industry can be achieved only by its transition to an innovative development way. The aim of the article is to analyze the indicators of innovation activity, invention and to develop proposals for the implementation of a number of measures in the context of the implementation of state regional policy to stimulate innovative development of industry. The article analyzes the indicators of innovation activity of Ukrainian industry in 2014-2019. The analysis of indicators of innovation activity of industrial enterprises, conducted in terms of technological levels of industrial development, shows the lack of stable trends in the dynamics of innovation activity. The general trend for all levels of produce-ability during the analyzed period is a decrease in the volume of sold innovative products. In general, the analysis of the main indicators of innovative activity of industry shows a decrease in the role of high-tech industries in the production and implementation of innovations. The existing potential of the regions in terms of inventions and utility models is analyzed. The analysis of the distribution of applications for inventions and utility models from national and foreign applicants-legal entities by type of industrial activity shows a decrease in inventive activity of enterprises in most types of industrial activity. The priority technical directions of patenting of inventions and utility models in the regions with the highest inventive activity are presented. It is emphasized that the low level of technological development of industry causes insignificant volumes of exports of high-tech products. The analysis shows a critically low level of high-tech exports in the regions of Ukraine, and somewhere its absence at all. It is claimed that the implementation of state regional policy in the regions of Ukraine is associated with the application of an integrated approach to the development and implementation of regional strategies. The use of an integrated approach will contribute to: improving the efficiency of the use of public funds aimed at the implementation of regional and local development projects, national, regional and sectorial programs, as well as programs for the development of problematic regions and the modernization of industry and infrastructure development in general. Under these conditions, the priorities of smart specialization of the regions are competitive advantages and guidelines for structural modernization of their economy.

Grounds and methods of systematization of legislation of Ukraine in the field of intellectual property

Keywords: intellectual property law; systematization of legislation, codification,copyright, industrial property law The article is sanctified to researchof the modern state of the legislative regulation of intellectual property relations inUkraine and the ways of its improvement in the direction of systematizing the relevantlegislation. Scientific approaches to determining the place of intellectual propertylaw in the legal system of Ukraine are considered. It is shown that now in Ukrainethere is a unique model of legislative regulation of these relations, which includes 3levels: the Civil Code of Ukraine, the Economic Code of Ukraine, special laws regulatingthe protection of rights to inventions, utility models, industrial designs, trademarks,and other objects. Such division of legislative acts is based on different volumeand subject of regulation of legislative acts. As a result of undertaken a study andtaking into account foreign experience two alternative ways of codification of legislationare certain in the field of intellectual property: within the limits of operating theCivil code of Ukraine and Economic code of Ukraine taking into account the differentiationof the subjects of its regulation, or in the direction of individual codifications ofcopyright and industrial property law as institutions intellectual property law. It issubstantiated that the second way has significant advantages over the unified (general)settlement of relations in the field of spiritual and scientific and technical creativitysince it takes into account the essential specifics of these two components of intellectualproperty law, which is due to the difference in the subjects of their regulation.Guidelines for choosing the appropriate direction of codification are proposed.

THE OBJECTS OF PATENT LAW

In the circumstances of development and functioning of the innovative model of economy, and necessity of creation and introducing of new technics and advanced technologies in manufacture the patent law is of a great importance in the intellectual property law system. The issue of patent law has repeatedly been the subject of researches in the national civil law science, but the question of its objects still remains unresolved. Therefore, the task of this article is to determine the range of the objects protected by patent law, as well as to describe their features. The article draws attention to the existence of different approaches to understanding the concept of «patent» in national legislation and international acts. The invention is analyzed as the most important object of patent-law protection. The inexpediency of defining the invention and its objects by pointing to all fields of technology is emphasized. Regarding to the utility model, the latest legislative changes in the definition of its objects are analyzed, as well as, some considerations are expressed regarding the prospects of introducing the criterion of inventive step for it. As for the industrial design, taking into account the latest changes in the legislation in this area, it is stated that it is inexpedient to refer it to the objects of patent law. It is argued that a plant variety and a breed of animals as the results of selection cannot be attributed to the scope of patent law. It is emphasized that patent law should not be equated with industrial property law – the latter is a broader concept, which, in addition to the objects of patent law, also includes other categories of objects (industrial designs, trademarks, geographical indications, etc.). It is concluded that the objects of patent law are inventions and utility models. In this regard, it is proposed in the process of recoding the rules on industrial designs to be allocated in a separate chapter of the Civil Code of Ukraine.

Effects of the utilization of intellectual property by scientific researchers on economic growth in Mexico

The present article examines the impact of intellectual property (IP) utilization and concentration on economic growth in Mexico. The findings presented center on the use of different forms of IP by researchers in the National System of Researchers (SNI in Spanish) of Mexico. We focus especially on the externalities associated with the use of IP by researchers, as well as on understanding how knowledge about, and utilization of IP relates to economic growth, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP). The results of our analyses indicate that in the context of the Mexican SNI, the utilization of certain forms of IP, specifically patents and industrial designs, had a positive impact on economic growth, while the use of utility models was negatively linked to drivers of growth. Policies based on these results could seek to foster awareness and utilization of particular forms of IP by SNI researchers, which in turn could result in greater economic growth in Mexico.

Development of the intellectual property service in Ukraine on the example of the Institute of oilseed crops of the NAAS

The history of development of industrial property of Ukraine, objects of intellectual property and relations which arise at their creation and use are considered. The main results of scientific research on the creation of intellectual property of the Institute of Oilseed Crops of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine (hereinafter IOC NAAS) are highlighted and analyzed. The research was conducted as part of the ongoing monitoring of intellectual property legislation on the legal protection of research results of the IOC NAAS and as part of marketing and patent research to position the institution as an originator of oilseeds. The purpose of the research is to investigate changes in the legislation on industrial property of Ukraine, intellectual property objects and relations that arise during their creation and use, to analyze the main results of scientific research on the creation of intellectual property objects of IOC NAAS (2001–2020). In the process of research, for a detailed study of the stages of the formation of patent legislation, legislative and regulatory acts of Ukraine were used concerning the regulation of intellectual activity and intellectual property, materials from professional periodicals, articles and abstracts published in scientific collections and materials of scientific and practical conferences, Internet resources, monographs and printed works of scientists, manuals, patents and inventions for useful models of the IOC NAAS. Research methods – quantitative, qualitative and comparative analysis. Methodology – according to the algorithm of constant monitoring and conducting patent and marketing research. The term "intellectual property" was first used in the Convention Establishing the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), adopted in Stockholm on July 14, 1967, and since then the term has been used in international conventions and legislation in many countries. The day of the adoption of the Law of Ukraine «On Property» in 1991 is considered to be the beginning of the formation of the legislation of Ukraine on intellectual property. This law for the first time recognized the results of intellectual activity as objects of property rights. At present, ensuring the implementation of state policy in the field of protection of rights to inventions and utility models in Ukraine is provided by the Ukrainian Institute of Intellectual Property (Ukrpatent) and belongs to the Ministry of Economic Development of Ukraine. IOC NAAS – a leading scientific institution in genetics, biotechnology, breeding and cultivation of basic and niche oilseeds, which focuses on the development of theoretical foundations of breeding, creation of modern breeding material, development of optimal agricultural techniques for its cultivation, organization of primary and industrial seed production, for the development and improvement of technical means and machines for separation, purification and waste-free processing of oilseeds. During the existence of the IOC NAAS, scientists have created 87 objects of patent law. The novelty and originality of scientific developments are confirmed by patents for inventions and utility models. At the time of writing, the Institute supports 23 patents.
