При патентовании фармацевтических инноваций, в условиях стремительного технического прогресса, фармацевтическим компаниям как в России, так и в США и Европейском союзе (ЕС), часто приходится сталкиваться с проблемой определения патентоспособных объектов. </p><p>Цель исследования – обзор возможностей для патентования фармацевтических инноваций в России, США и ЕС, а также выявить достоинства и недостатки правового регулирования инновационных решений фармацевтических компаний в условиях специфики правовых систем.</p></sec><sec><title>Материал и методы</title><p>Материал и методы. Изучено национальное законодательство в сфере патентования медицинских инноваций, а также проанализирован релевантный опыт США и ЕС. Методологическую базу исследования составляют как общенаучные, так и частнонаучные юридические методы: системный, метод конкретизации, методы синтеза и анализа, а также сравнительно-правовой метод.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. В зависимости от того, какой позиции придерживается законодатель, формируется база для правового регулирования инновационных решений фармацевтических компаний, которые могут быть ещё не поименованы в нормативно-правовых актах в силу их принципиальной новизны. Правовые пробелы и коллизии в США и ЕС разрешаются путём глубокого анализа и рассмотрения каждого конкретного спора судебной инстанцией. В России урегулирование данного вопроса идёт по пути решения посредством локально-нормативных актов и позиции соответствующих федеральных органов исполнительной власти. </p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Патентование в фармацевтической сфере преимущественно носит стимулирующий характер, т.к. позволяет защитить инновационные решения на стадии их разработки, однако у законодателя вызывает определённые сложности определение патентоспособных объектов в условиях стремительного технического прогресса. </p></sec><sec><title>Финансирование</title><p>Финансирование.

When patenting pharmaceutical innovations, in the context of rapid technological progress, pharmaceutical companies often have to face identifying patentable objects both in the Russian Federation and in the United States of America and the European Union.</p><p>The aim of the study is to review the possibilities for patenting pharmaceutical innovations in the Russian Federation, the United States of America and the European Union, as well as to identify the advantages and disadvantages of legal regulation of innovative solutions of pharmaceutical companies in the context of the specifics of legal systems.</p></sec><sec><title>Material and methods</title><p>Material and methods. The national legislation in patenting medical innovations was studied, and the relevant experience of the USA and the European Union was analyzed. The methodological basis of the research is made up of both general scientific and private scientific legal methods: systemic, method of concretization, methods of synthesis and analysis, as well as the comparative-legal method.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. Depending on the legislator’s position, a basis is being formed for the legal regulation of innovative solutions of pharmaceutical companies, which may not yet be named in regulatory legal acts due to their fundamental novelty. Legal gaps and conflicts in the US and the EU are resolved through in-depth analysis and consideration of each specific dispute by the court. In Russia, the settlement of this issue is on the way to solving it through local regulations and the position of the relevant federal executive bodies.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. Patenting in the pharmaceutical field is mainly of a stimulating nature, since it allows protecting innovative solutions at the stage of their development. However, the legislator has particular difficulties in identifying patentable objects in the context of rapid technological progress.</p></sec><sec><title>Acknowledgements</title><p>Acknowledgements.
