EVOLUTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF PATENT LAW IN THE USSR
The scientific sphere at all times excited the minds of people. The goal of any science is to acquire new knowledge. Science, like any other sphere of cultural activity, is called upon to accumulate, systematize and transfer the accumulated experience to the next generation. The institution created to regulate relations in the field of intellectual property became patent law. The history of the origin and development of domestic patent law goes back to the ХVII century. Patent laws have evolved over the years. By the time the USSR was formed, the patent was abolished, and it was replaced by the "copyright certificate", and with it the "inventive right". In essence, it regulated the same relations, however, it did not provide their owners with the exclusive right to use the created developments. Today, the process of modernization of Russian society is noticeable. Successful reform is impossible in the absence of the necessary information about the historical path of development of the state, as well as about its economic and political processes.
