In the context of numerous international projects with our partners from the CIS countries, the development of developments in the Eurasian space is of particular importance. The products and technologies of the rocket and space industry have the high potential of commercialization on foreign rays. At the same time, the portfolio of rights to our products should be strong enough to provide them with a competitive advantage and do not allow other participants to occupy those niches that traditionally “entrenched” for enterprises of Roscosmos.
Currently, there is an increase in interest in space subjects not only from the point of view of technology, but also as an area that has the prospect of commercialization in various areas of culture and business – from cinema to souvenir products. In such conditions, it is necessary to take care not only about the protection of technical solutions, but also means of individualization, as well as the appearance of products.
