Liudmila Novoselova Likely to Chair Russia's New Intellectual Property Court




Supreme Arbitration Court Judge Liudmila Novoselova will likely become chair of Russia's new court being created exclusively to handle intellectual property rights issues. She is the only candidate for the position, and is expected to obtain formal approval at the next session of the Board of Judges in September.  Without speculating about her future role, Novoselova explained that the court for intellectual property rights would be completely new to the Russian judicial system, and among its priorities would be to ensure uniform practice on disputes concerning the protection of intellectual property rights, to work closely with government agencies and non-governmental organizations in this field, and to cooperate with the scientific community.  Novoselova, a recognized authority in the the field of civil, corporate and finance law, graduated from the Law Faculty of Moscow State University.  In 1984 she began working in the State Arbitration Court, and in 1992 she became a judge of the newly created Supreme Arbitration Court.
