This codification, the most comprehensive in Russian legal history, regulates all intellectual property results and means of individualisation within a single legislative instrument. The Federal Service for Intellectual Property (Rospatent — Федеральная служба по интеллектуальной собственности), operating under the Ministry of Economic Development, is the principal administrative body responsible for the examination and registration of patents, trademarks, and other IP objects. The system is territorially limited to the Russian Federation and does not extend to international registration without separate validation.</p>
