Uncertain Time

Patent law, which arose at the beginning of the industrial revolution and protects the rights of the patent holder solely on the territory of patenting, does not apply to inventions used in outer space. Space is not included in any patenting territory. It is necessary on a new basis to form the space law on the protection of innovative solutions, which will take into account the uncertain time between the filing of an application for an invention and its first use in space. Now it often exceeds the generally accepted period of validity of patents. For space patents, it is advisable to establish their validity for at least 50 years from the date of first use. All outer space, including all objects located in it, is proposed to be declared a single patent territory. It is necessary to exclude duties on the maintenance of patents used in space flights, if they are used only by the developer or are transferred to them for free leasing.
