Take a look at Kazakhstan
After breakdown of the USSR in 1991 Kazakhstan became an independent state. It is a unitary presidential republic with population of 15,860,700 people covering area of 2,742,900 square kilometers (the world's ninth largest territory). Kazakhstan borders Russia on the North, China on the South-East and is washed by the Caspian Sea on the West. West regions of the republic are known for intensive development of gas- and oil-extraction activities.
Kazakhstan Patent and Trademark System
Kazakhstan adopted its Patent and Trademark Laws in 1992. At this point Kazakhstan is a member of WIPO, signatory to the Paris Convention, the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), the Madrid Agreement, and the Eurasian Patent Convention. The latter convention was signed by nine of the ex-USSR states and provides protection for inventions in all of the contracting states on the basis of a single patent document.
