A regional route for obtaining one Eurasian patent for an industrial design effective across the Eurasian Patent Convention member states.
A Eurasian industrial design patent makes it possible to obtain protection across eight member states of the Eurasian Patent Convention: Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan.
The system is administered through the Eurasian Patent Office and allows applicants to use one filing framework for regional design protection instead of separate filings from the outset.
This route is particularly useful where the appearance of a product is commercially relevant across several Eurasian markets and centralised administration is preferable.
The Eurasian route is usually chosen where applicants need coordinated design protection across several Eurasian jurisdictions through one application and one office.
Only one application is filed to seek protection across eight Eurasian member states at once.
The system uses a single fee structure instead of separate national design filings and separate local representation from the outset.
Filing and rights management are handled through one office — the Eurasian Patent Office.
One application may include up to 100 industrial designs, provided they belong to one Locarno class.
The route is useful where product appearance matters commercially across several Eurasian jurisdictions.
The Eurasian route reduces fragmentation in filing, registration and renewal administration.
The Eurasian design route is usually practical where the same product appearance is intended to be used or commercialised across several Eurasian markets.
It may be especially useful for product lines, packaging, consumer goods, equipment, retail products and other designs where unified visual protection across the region has commercial value.
Since one application may include multiple industrial designs within one Locarno class, the route may also be suitable for coordinated protection of related design variants.
To be eligible for protection, an industrial design must meet the fundamental criteria established under the Eurasian legal framework. These requirements ensure that only genuinely new and distinctive product appearances receive protection.
In practice, the assessment focuses on whether the design differs sufficiently from prior designs and creates a distinct overall impression.
For industrial designs, filing timing should be considered before public disclosure of product appearance.
Publications in catalogues, online stores, social media, exhibitions, presentations or pre-launch marketing materials may become relevant when assessing whether a design is new.
Preliminary design searches and disclosure review may help identify earlier similar designs and assess whether the filing strategy should be adjusted before submission.
Important: Design protection strategy should usually be planned before public launch, especially where the same product appearance is expected to be used in several markets.

The Eurasian industrial design application is processed through several procedural stages within the Eurasian Patent Office.
The application is filed with the Eurasian Patent Office, undergoes formal review and is assigned a filing date once the required materials are received.
If all formal requirements are met, the application is published.
Important: Any person may file an objection against the grant of the industrial design within two months from the date of publication.
The application is examined on the merits. If the decision is positive, the industrial design is registered, published in the official bulletin and the patent is issued.
Important: Compliance with patentability requirements is assessed in particular where an objection against grant has been filed.
Fees are paid in Russian rubles according to the exchange rate of the Central Bank of Russia.
The initial term of protection is 5 years from the filing date.
Protection may be renewed repeatedly for further 5-year periods up to a maximum total term of 25 years.
If the renewal deadline is missed by no more than 6 months, it may be restored upon payment of an additional fee equal to 50% of the basic renewal fee.
We support Eurasian industrial design filings from the initial filing set through registration, publication and renewal management.
We help prepare the filing set and coordinate the Eurasian design procedure from the outset.
Clients receive a clear view of official fees, procedural stages and renewal logic.
We can support the matter from filing through grant, publication and subsequent renewals.
