    YEREVAN, AUGUST 13, ARMENPRESS: The Armenian Economy Ministry's agency
    of mental property received 2,234 applications for registration of
    brands from foreign companies during the seven months of this year.

    Director of the agency Armen Azizyan told Armenpress that registration
    of brands has only one aim - elaboration of business: Armenia
    is becoming more interesting for foreign businessmen. The agency
    also received 592 applications of registering brands from local
    companies. The registration of brand protects the product. The agency
    also receives applications for registering names of firms. Currently
    there are more than 50,000 registered names of firms.

    All the registered brands, names of firms are placed in
    www.armpatent.org web site which is a guide for businessmen to clarify
    whether there is such a name they want to choose or not. The web site
    also presents the inventions registered in Armenia.

    In January-July the agency received 99 applications for
    registration of inventions and innovations. Five of the inventors
    are foreigners. Azizyan said the inventions mainly refer to the
    spheres of chemistry, physics, biology, medicine, energy, mechanics,
    construction. The director of the agency said that the presented
    applications must be new, must have necessary inventiveness degree,
    be applicable in industry. Azizyan noted that some applications may be
    rejected in case they do not meet each of these demands. For instance,
    applications for eternal engines are being presented but they are
    rejected for not being applicable in industry.

    Azizyan noted that after Armenia's membership to World Organization
    of Mental Property, annually 3-4 invention applications are being
    presented for registering them abroad.

    Currently 800 inventions are being applied in Armenia.
