Under the circumstances, the impelling need to protect inventions throughout the Single Economic Space arises, since the protection of only one national patent becomes dramatically inefficient. In this context, the importance of a Eurasian patent increases, as it protects an invention in 9 CIS countries, including the countries of the Single Economic Space.

It should also be noted that a Eurasian patent can be granted within 6 months (accelerated procedure), and its protection extends to the largest territory in the world.
