The teams “Ararat,” “Shirak” and “Kilikia” were granted patents by
the Patent Board of the Armenian Football Federation (AFF) at the
end of April on condition that they introduce additional documents.

The clubs presented all the necessary documents within the deadline
fixed by the Patent Committee and according to the specialists of
the Patent Board of the Armenian Football Federation (AFF) these
documents meet the criteria of the AFF patent system guidebook.

This fact is especially vital for the Yerevan “Kilikia” which couldn’t
participate in the Intertoto Cup meetings on June without a patent.

Let us remind you that patent procedure has been held on the request
of UEFA in all its member countries in the recent years and the
demands are becoming more and more strict. This procedure has been
held for the third time, and each time a number of clubs counter
certain problems connected with financial and organizational issues.
