Historically, on 29 May 2014, the Presidents of Kazakhstan, Belarus and Russia signed the treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), which came into effect on 1 January 2015. Likewise, the Presidents of Armenia and Kyrgyzstan were present at the signing ceremony to mark the development of regional economic integration among former Soviet Union nations. Properly, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated, "Today we have created a powerful, attractive centre of economic development, a big regional market that unites more than 170 million people". Geographically, the Eurasian Economic Union is centralized at the eastern end of Europe, bounded in the Arctic from the north, the Pacific Ocean from the east with East Asia, and the Middle East with parts of Central Asia from the south. Abundantly, the Eurasian Economic Union features major cultural corridors, ancient cities and several tourist destinations which link the Middle East with the Far East. Specifically, member states of the EAEU cover an area of approximately 15% of the world's land surface which is enriched in natural resources. Decisively, the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council ensures the EAEU is well equipped to manage international affairs and is composed of the Heads of State from member states.

Acutely, the Supreme Council determines the strategy, direction and prospects for regional economic integration to achieve the goals of the EAEU. Structurally, the Eurasian Economic Council (EEC) is built with a Chairman of the Board which is responsible for the finance department, legal department, and administrative department alongside members of the board. Progressively, the EEC deliver policies which foster integration of macro-economic initiatives in trade, energy infrastructure, agriculture, mass communications as well as regulations on customs and duty-free goods. Strategically, the EEC is enforcing soft laws on anti-trust situations to exceed standards which regulate the entry and temporary storage of goods entering the territory of EAEU member states. Furthermore, the EEC tracks the movement of goods in the EAEU through establishing treaties and acts in accordance with the norms of international trade. Meanwhile, the EEC is devoted to improving the global business atmosphere as alleviating adminstrative barriers accelerate the interest of legal business entities.

Effectively, the EEC has progressed with making decisions on customs policies, macro-economics, competition regulations, energy policies and the fiscal policy of the EAEU. Profoundly, protecting intellectual and industrial property is vital for modern society and is achieved in the Eurasian Patent Organization. Steadily, Russia has led development of the legal framework and legislation which assists with protecting both intellectual and industrial property for the EAEU. Entirely, the EAEU is modernized for protecting society with patents which are regularly improved as enforcement of trade policies accelerates economic growth. Legally, a patent provides, the right to exclude others from making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the patented invention and/or intellectual work. Normally, a patent protects various works for a stated term which is usually 20 years from the filing date and is subject to the payment of maintenance fees. Presently, international copyright protection in the EAEU is rising from growing trade relations within member states while economic activity in Asia adds momentum. Accordingly, the World Intellectual Property Organization has tracked over 84% of all patent filings in 2019 from China, Japan, South Korea, the US and EU. Economically, the EAEU is engineering global economic activity as the Eurasian Patent Office delivers improved online patent services for member states.
