Alexey Odinokov, the LearnIP project manager, said: It is not an accident we decided to launch the Month of intellectual property in April. On April 12, Russia celebrates Cosmonautics Day. In the 20th century, space travel has made our country famous throughout the world - any language, now has the word sputnik. April 26 is the International Day of Intellectual Property under the auspices of the World Intellectual Property Organization. I am sure that it is intellectual property that will make Russia not only famous but also economically prosperous country in the 21st century.
