Rostec has calculated the number of cases of illegal copying of Russian weapons and equipment
Over the past 17 years, more than 500 cases of unauthorized copying of Russian weapons and military equipment have been identified. This was told by the head of intellectual property projects at Rostec Evgeny Livadny.
Russian experts have identified more than 500 cases of unauthorized copying of Russian weapons and military equipment. Especially China has succeeded in this, where Russian aircraft engines, fighter jets, anti-aircraft systems and much more have already been copied.
- explained Livadny.
According to him, Russian specialists work abroad who identify cases of illegal copying of Russian weapons and military equipment. However, even when such cases are identified, Russia cannot bring anything to the “copyists” through the court, since there are no patents registered for Russian weapons abroad. At the same time, foreign companies at a high level are engaged in the protection of intellectual property by registering their patents abroad.
- he stressed.
In October, it was announced that Rosoboronexport was creating a consultative group to protect the rights to the results of intellectual activity in the framework of military-technical cooperation.
