Meet the Salyut Patent Team

Salyut Patent brings together IP lawyers, a registered Russian patent attorney, brand strategists, franchise consultants, and designers.
This combination of legal, business, and creative expertise allows us to protect more than a registration certificate. We help clients build commercially valuable brands, reduce legal risk, and protect the intellectual property that drives their business.
We regularly represent international companies and foreign rights holders seeking IP protection in Russia. All matters can be handled remotely, with clear communication and reporting in English.
When needed, we also coordinate with foreign counsel, local representatives, distributors, franchisees, and other business partners.

IP Counsel for International Clients

Protecting intellectual property in Russia involves more than filing an application. Foreign applicants must account for local filing requirements, Rospatent examination practices, prior rights, registrability issues, and the rules governing IP ownership and use.
We provide comprehensive support in connection with:

Trademark searches and clearance.
Trademark applications and prosecution.
Patent and industrial design applications.
Representation before Rospatent.
Responses to office actions and provisional refusals.
Trademark, patent, and copyright licensing.

Assignments of intellectual property rights.
Recordal of IP-related agreements.
Franchise and commercial concession agreements.
Intellectual property disputes and enforcement.
Marketplace and online infringement.
English-language advice, communication, and reporting.

Our goal is to make the Russian IP process clear, efficient, and manageable for international clients.

Franchise Services

Franchise Due Diligence

Before investing in a franchise, you need more than the franchisor’s sales materials. You need to know whether the brand is protected, whether the agreement is fair, and whether the business model is supported by reliable information.
Our franchise due diligence service includes:

Legal review of the franchise or commercial concession agreement.

Verification of the franchisor’s trademark rights.

Confirmation that the franchisor owns or controls the intellectual property being licensed.

Review of the financial model, actual performance data, and projected results.

Assessment of the franchisor’s know-how and trade secret protections.

Identification of legal, financial, and operational risks.

Practical recommendations before you sign.

You receive the information needed to make an informed investment decision—not simply rely on the franchisor’s promises.

Order franchise due diligence

Legal Protection for Franchise Systems

Designed for franchisors operating or preparing to launch a franchise system in Russia.
The service includes:

Legal review of the franchise structure.

Compliance review under Russian law.

Drafting of a commercial concession agreement—the Russian legal equivalent of a franchise agreement.

Preparation of documents governing the use of trademarks, know-how, and other intellectual property.

Development of contractual controls and franchisee compliance procedures.

Advice on the legal and tax treatment of franchise fees and royalties.

If businesses operate under your brand, the legal basis for that use must be properly documented. The necessary agreements and registrations should be in place before questions arise from regulators, tax authorities, franchisees, or third parties.
