The history of the establishment and development of Kyiv Institute of Intellectual Property and Law of the National University 'Odessa Law Academy' dates back to 1996. That year, in accordance with a joint decision of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Science and Education and the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Industrial Policy of Ukraine, the Closed Joint-Stock Company 'Institute of Intellectual Property and Law' was founded.

On November 27, 2004, by order No. 821 of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, the institute was designated as the leading institution for training, retraining, and professional development of personnel in the field of intellectual property. In 2008, in accordance with the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, dated October 10, 2007, and the order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, dated November 29, 2007, the Closed Joint-Stock Company 'Institute of Intellectual Property and Law' was transformed into the State Higher Educational Institution 'State Institute of Intellectual Property'.

Spasky, D.E. Benatov, V.V. Badanin, I.V. Kondratyuk, and others.

Thus, in November 2014, to streamline its structure and comply with the Law of Ukraine 'On Higher Education', the rector of the National University 'Odessa Law Academy' issued an order to rename the institute as the State Institute of Intellectual Property of the National University 'Odessa Law Academy' in Kyiv. This change officially granted the institute a special, nationally significant status.
