Ukrainian National Office for Intellectual Property and Innovations

The Ukrainian National Office for Intellectual Property and Innovations (UANIPIO) acts as the state intellectual property office of Ukraine. Commonly referred to as the IP Office, it operates as a public sector institution responsible for implementing state policy in the fields of intellectual property, innovation support, copyright, and related rights, while actively developing tools and guidelines to foster innovation and European integration in Ukraine.

Vision and Mission 

UANIPIO strives to be a modern, professional, technological, and transparent full-cycle hub for creators, operating on the "single-window" principle. The organization is dedicated not only to supporting creative ideas and securing relevant patents and certificates, but also to providing expert consultations on patent granting and protection, helping find investors, and guiding the successful commercialization of intellectual property.

Institutional Status and Background 

Ukraine has successfully completed the institutional reform of its intellectual property sector alongside the implementation of key framework legislation—most notably Law No. 703-IX, which established the legal foundation for the National Intellectual Property Authority.
