Reflection of technological sovereignty in patent statistics: computer and information technologies

The article analyses the dynamics of global patent statistics in the field of computer and information technologies. It is shown that in the period 2019–2023 the share of four leading countries accounted for more than 90% of the total number of published patent applications in the field under consideration. It is shown, that low patent activity of Russia in those years was characterized by negative dynamics of patent applications publication. The authors identify the factors causing the unsustainability of local patenting practice in Russia and creating barriers to the registration of rights to intellectual property objects outside the national jurisdiction. The authors come to the conclusion, that it is necessary to adjust the scientific, technological and industrial policy aimed at stimulating the patent activity of Russian applicants, with a focus on strengthening the regulatory environment and improving the legal framework.
