A group of six Russian dignitaries is visiting Buffalo and five other U.S. cities to learn about legal issues in the biotechnology field.

The Russians are interested in international and U.S. intellectual property rights and protections, and how U.S. law pertains to the filing, issue and holding of copyrights and trademarks.

They are meeting late Tuesday afternoon with Richard Matner, director of Roswell Park's director of technology and commercial development, and others from the research facility.

The group is traveling under the auspices of the U.S. Department of State's International Visitor Leadership Program. The visit is being arranged by the Delphi International Program of World Learning
