According to Art. 1247 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, a citizen of the Russian Federation permanently residing in its territory may be registered as a patent attorney. Other requirements to the patent attorney, the procedure for its certification and registration, as well as its competence in relation to the conduct of cases related to the legal protection of the results of intellectual activity and means of individualization are established by law.

Citizens permanently residing outside the territory of the Russian Federation and foreign legal entities conduct business with the Federal Executive body for intellectual property through patent attorneys registered with the said Federal body, unless otherwise provided by an international Treaty of the Russian Federation.

In the Russian Federation it is the Federal law of December 30, 2008 N 316-FZ «About patent attorneys» in which more extended definition of the patent attorney is given:

«Patent attorneys are citizens who have received the status of a patent attorney in accordance with this Federal law and carry out activities related to the legal protection of the results of intellectual activity and means of individualization, protection of intellectual rights, acquisition of exclusive rights to the results of intellectual activity and means of individualization, disposal of such rights.
