Rospatent announced the winners of the "Successful Patent" contest at the National Centre RUSSIA

A formal ceremony to honour the winners of the national "Successful Patent" contest took place at the National Centre RUSSIA. Head of Rospatent Yuri Zubov congratulated the inventors whose patented technologies have already been put into production and brought profit to their developers.

Since 2022, the Federal Service for Intellectual Property has held the "Successful Patent" contest among enterprises, universities and research institutions whose technologies are already used in production and generate economic impact. The contest aims to encourage inventive activity, strengthen innovation potential, and promote Russia’s technological leadership.

Each year, the number of applications for "Successful Patent" continues to grow. In 2025, the organisers received 219 submissions from companies across 49 regions of Russia. Most inventions came from industries such as medicine, mineral extraction and processing, aerospace engineering, metallurgy, information technology and agriculture.

"The 'Successful Patent' contest has become one of the most striking demonstrations of the country’s technological strength. Most of the entries represent significant developments for strategically important and priority industries. The jury notes the high inventive level across all submissions — from large enterprises and small businesses to research institutes and universities. Talented innovators are everywhere. The commercialisation of their ideas is the result of the collective effort of many people united by the desire to implement advanced technologies for the benefit of the country’s development," said Head of Rospatent Yuri Zubov.

Contest winners

Category I – Large Enterprises

Specialists from Slavneft-YANOS JSC (Yaroslavl) developed an arctic diesel fuel capable of ensuring reliable engine operation in extreme conditions — at temperatures below −65 °C. There are no equivalents to this technology anywhere in the world.

Experts from Severneftegazprom LLC (Novy Urengoy) created a system for managing gas extraction in multilayer fields. The system monitors process anomalies, predicts emergency situations, improves workplace safety and reduces energy consumption in gas production and transportation.

Concern Sozvezdie JSC (Voronezh) developed a radio receiver with digital correction of self-induced frequencies, maintaining stable communication even in complex interference conditions. Internal and external radiation no longer has a significant impact on signal quality.

At Russian Federal Nuclear Center – All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Experimental Physics (RFNC-VNIIEF) (Sarov), engineers found a new and effective way to store spent nuclear fuel. Their compact, high-tech container protects the environment from gamma and neutron radiation, while its design prevents overheating by safely dissipating heat to the outer surface.

Engineers at Mobile TeleSystems PJSC (Moscow) developed a system to detect electricity theft using machine learning. The system identifies suspicious energy consumption with higher precision than existing analogues, enabling faster response to potential losses.

Category II – Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises

Scientists from Biotech-M (Moscow) invented a device that uses cryopreservation to store ready-to-transfuse blood. The technology enables sterile platelet preservation for up to two years without additional disinfection equipment — previously, this period was limited to just three days. The device ensures that donor blood remains suitable for transfusion at any time, including during emergencies.

The Skolkovo Laboratory of Innovative Technologies (Moscow) has developed a method of extraction-based separation of rare-earth elements. The method is based on the use of centrifugal extractors and is the world’s only high-performance, easily controlled technology for separating mined mixed rare-earth concentrates. It significantly reduces work-in-progress volumes, provides easy process control and ensures the required purity of final products. The technology is suitable for raw materials of both natural (mineral) and technogenic origin.

IT specialists from InfoWatch Laboratory LLC (Moscow) have created an advanced method of data stream clustering that operates faster than existing analogues. The technology enables efficient processing of large volumes of data contained in electronic documents, providing more accurate and timely classification.

Category III – Research Institutes and Universities

Technologists from the Kurchatov Institute National Research Centre (Moscow) have developed a new heat-resistant nickel-based casting alloy capable of withstanding temperatures above 1000 °C and high stress levels of up to 120 MPa for extended periods. Such alloys are used to produce turbine and nozzle blades for aircraft gas-turbine engines. The new technology outperforms all known analogues in these parameters.

Two organisations — the National Medical Research Centre of Traumatology and Orthopaedics named after Academician G.A. Ilizarov of the Russian Ministry of Health and Research and Production Association Kurganpribor JSC (Moscow/Kurgan) — have jointly developed a system for controlling the process of treating various bone injuries (distraction osteosynthesis). Using artificial intelligence, the system analyses bone regeneration dynamics in real time and determines the optimal directions and angles of force applied by the Ilizarov apparatus. This approach minimises the risk of complications and improves healing efficiency.

Scientists from the Federal Centre for Animal Health (ARRIAH) (Vladimir) have found an effective way to protect livestock farmers from new strains of foot-and-mouth disease while maintaining the quality of meat products. The developed vaccine provides effective protection even for the most susceptible animals. Studies of humoral immunity have confirmed the high efficacy of the vaccine, which is already being widely used at livestock farms across Russia.

The Scientific Conference of Rospatent

This year, the final stage of the "Successful Patent" contest was traditionally timed to coincide with Rospatent’s scientific and practical conference "Intellectual Property in the New Model of Science and Technology Development". At the event, participants discussed scientific approaches to creating mechanisms for the use of intellectual property in the socio-economic development of regions, tools for supporting innovative entrepreneurship, and exchanged experience and best practices.
