Speaking of beavers… 🤓

A couple of weeks ago, the Academic Council of Rospatent’s Federal Institute of Industrial Property (FIPS) held its final meeting of the year. Towards the end of the year, these meetings had been taking place fairly regularly. I realise that some people may be getting tired of hearing so much about Rospatent, so I have good news for them: the next Academic Council meeting will probably not be until March.

I will not keep you long: the meeting proceeded as usual. We heard and discussed reports on research projects, then made plans for next year. It was all very routine, with no interesting debates.

I hope that all the researchers who took part in these projects receive a decent bonus.
