At present, along with the increasing importance of intangible
assets in the market-driven economy and with the development of the
intellectual property law, the number of protectable and marketable
intellectual property subject matters is constantly growing. It is
remarkable that persons, in particular, legal entities and
individuals, have started to show an increasing interest in the
security and protection of the results of intellectual activity and
means of individualization when creating, promoting, and selling
products or providing services, both in Russia and abroad. At the
same time, we see that in some cases intellectual property objects
are acquired in the name of one holder and in other cases —
in the name of several holders of the relevant rights (rights
holders) for quite different purposes, including commercial and
non-commercial.
