Keep the parenthesized part for the first use, omit afterwards.

Judging by Wikipedia, the original title is also misleading, as there was no authority with this name in the USSR: "In the former Soviet Union, Goskomizobretenie (Russian: Госкомизобретений), which stood for Gosudarstvennyi komitet po delam izobretenie i otkrytii, was the State Committee for Inventions and Discoveries. It maintained a registry of inventions and discoveries and gave out authors certificates and patents."

agree  Jack Doughty: With Wikipedia. In the USSR, a patent was not called a patent but an "авторское свидетельство". I did thousands of abstracts of "описание изобретения к авторскому свидетельству" for one customer over many years.
