KOMMERSANT. DEFENSE RESEARCH INSTITUTE TURNED OUT TO BE FOR SALE

Comments of Elena Gladysheva on the bankruptcy case of the Ministry of Defense IT contractor Central Research Institute of Economics, Informatics and Management Systems JSC, which is part of Rostekh.

According to the data from the Unified Federal Register of Bankruptcy Information, the property of the Central Research Institute of Economics, Informatics and Management Systems (TsNII EISU), which had previously been declared bankrupt, began to be put up for auction in the framework of bankruptcy proceedings. The nearest auctions, where the bankruptcy manager will try to sell the basic building of research institute (located in the center of Moscow on Malaya Bronnaya Street, area of the object - 7 thousand square meters) are appointed to September 23, the initial price is 1,6 billion rubles. Judging by the protocol of the debtor's property evaluation (published by the Register on the 29th of June), not only the Central Research Institute material assets (equipment, furniture, computers), but also software and the results of research and development works will go under the hammer.

For example, according to the protocol of evaluation of the property of the Central Research Institute, the result of experimental and development work under Zarya code was valued at 4 million rubles, the results of the Rassvet R&D are cheaper - only 1.5 million rubles. And the "software program for the computer software for recognition and identification of personality" is estimated at 2 thousand rubles. The most expensive item was the results of Polymorph R&D, which was assessed at 137 million rubles. Total amount of "intangible assets" is 39 lots, which were evaluated in 172 million rubles.

According to data published on the institute's website itself, Zarya and Rassvet are secure operating systems developed by the Institute itself, "the level of secrecy of processed information is no higher than 'top secret,'" according to the Institute website. In turn, Polymorph is "a software complex designed to integrate data from heterogeneous automated control systems based on semantic technologies.

Elena Gladysheva answers the Kommersant's questions in her publication - can the above-mentioned intellectual property and R&D results (they are listed in the appraiser's report published in the Register) be put up for bankruptcy auctions? Will there be restrictions on such auctions and restrictions for those wishing to participate in the auction? How are such debtor's secret and defense-related assets sold? How does the sale of the results of R&D and other intellectual property of such institutions usually go? Have there been cases in practice of contesting the sale of such intangible assets, including by state bodies or state-owned companies, and how did these stories end?
