The Eurasian
Patent Organization, EAPO) is an international organization set up on
September 9, 1994 by
the Eurasian Patent Convention (EAPC) to grant Eurasian patents, which

Member in the period 1994-2012). The official language of the EAPO is
Russian and its headquarters are in Moscow. It is comprised of
the Administrative Council and the Eurasian Patent Office.

The logo was authorized by the Administrative Council in its third meeting in July, 1996 and its
author is "Г.Д. Купайи" (English: G.D. Kupai). It can be used in
different color combinations and it is described as follows: "The emblem represents a
globe surrounded by an open ribbon, symbolizing the open nature of the
Eurasian Patent Convention." This emblem is currently protected under
Article 6 of the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial
Property (administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization
(WIPO). The flag is a blue horizontal background with the logo (in inverted
colors) in the middle.
