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.
