The government supported a new procedure for licensing defense technologies developed within the Defense Forces. At least 25% of the funds from the cost of licenses will go to military authors of the developments.

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine stated this on its website, Ukrinform reports.

The adopted government resolution, initiated by the Ministry of Defense, will establish clear rules for managing intellectual property created within the Defense Forces of Ukraine.

"Military developments owned by the state may be transferred into serial production on a paid basis through a transparent licensing system. At least 25% of the funds from paid licenses will be paid directly to military servicemembers who developed the relevant technologies. The remaining amount will be directed to the needs of military R&D and the development of defense innovations. In some cases, technologies may be licensed free of charge," the statement said.
