Order by the State Committee for Standardization No. 327 of June 6, 1997:
DSTU 3574-97 “A patent record. Main provisions.
Procedure for its drawing up and completion”
DSTU 3575-97 “Patent research. Main provisions
and procedure for carrying out thereof”.
DSTU 3575-97 replaces and overrides the
former SU Standard GOST 15.011-82 “System for development and implementation
of R&D results in production. Procedure for carrying out patent research”.
It governs the procedure for carrying out patent research in order to investigate
and determine patentability of a subject of economic activity, the situation
as regards exploitation of industrial property rights and to bring to light
probable infringement of rights of holders of valid titles of protection
or applicants.
DSTU 3574-97 replaces and overrides the
former SU Standard GOST 15.012-82 “System for development and implementation
of R&D results in production. Patent record”. It governs the procedure
of drawing up and completion of a patent record, an official information
document which attests to the status of a subject of economic activity
(as a commodity) in respect of infringement of industrial property rights
of holders of valid titles of protection or applicants.
The Standards have been drawn up in compliance
with the current Ukrainian legislation in the sphere of protection of industrial
property rights. The requirements of the Standards are mandatory for all
legal entities operating in the territory of Ukraine whose activities are
fully or partially funded from the state budget. The Standards also serve
as recommendations for all other legal entities operating in Ukraine.
The texts of the Standards in the Ukrainian
or Russian language are available from the Ukrainian R&D Institute
for Standardization and Certification at the address:
