SCIENCE MINISTER BEMOANS LOSS OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Russia is losing millions of dollars in intellectual property to foreign countries, Science Minister Boris Saltykov told a meeting of the State Commission on Science and Technical Policy on 28 May. The loss to the U.S. alone is estimated at $600 million to $700 million, ITAR-TASS reported. About 8,000 Russian scientists are said to be participating in U.S. government programs. Saltykov attributed Russia's poor record in protecting its intellectual property rights to a lack of experience and legislative shortcomings. He added that presidential decrees have been drafted on licensing consulting services and introducing a system of state registration for agreements envisaging international cooperation. The government has also drafted a resolution on state ownership rights over the results of all work carried out with federal budget money. -- Penny Morvant
