To Creative, Scientific and Intellectual elite
Dear compatriots!
Today the whole world celebrates the International Intellectual Property Day. Thus, let me sincerely greet all creators, scientists, inventors, rationalizers, and the whole personnel in the sphere of legal protection of intellectual property of Ukraine on the occasion of this holiday. I have no doubts that it is your conscientious work and inspiration that create the basis for prospering of future generations in our state. Indeed, this is the bold idea of an inventor multiplied by purposeful work of state bodies in the sphere of defense and protection of new developments that is the guarantee of increasing potential of creative elite and Ukraine’s steady progress on the way to world-wide achievements.
On my part, I want to reassure that the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine does and shall do its best to support and protect the interests of domestic inventors and innovators. Today Ukraine’s legislation in the sphere of legal protection of intellectual property corresponds to the main international standards, and its further refinement is one of the top priority tasks of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine before this branch. Coordinated work of the government, parliament and business sources aim at increasing the share of innovative product in domestic production. Only the painstaking and conscious work of all the interested parties shall give the desired result to significantly increase the stands of Ukraine’s economy and the authority of our state at the international level.
The state, jointly with its innovators, shall give the necessary impetus for establishment of the truly high-tech and competitive Ukrainian product. Patents, trademarks, copyright and related rights that are the result of creativity and knowledge shall become powerful tools promoting economic and cultural development of Ukraine.
I wish you inspiration in creative work, peace, well and harmony. May the novelty of your ideas be the corn stone for development of absolutely new and innovative Ukraine.
Volodymyr RYBAK
