Present study analyses the trends in patenting in Ukraine in 2004–2023. Negative trends in patenting in Ukraine have been identified.
Innovation is the most important factor in economic development in today's world, which is characterized by rapid technological change and global competition. Have long known that the primary factors for intensifying innovation activity in any country or technical industry are exclusively economic factors, such as changes in market structure, increased investment in R&D, and other factors that shape science and technology policies. But at the same time, as a rule, there is an increase in inventive activity and an increase in the number of patent documents in the relevant technical fields. In other words, statistics on patent documentation growth are important indicators of innovation activity intensification.
There is a direct link between the patenting and the level of economic development of the country, number of patents issued in the country and R&D expenditures.
Patent statistics serve as the most important information base for conducting various scientific, technical, and economic studies, including assessing the functioning of the patent system in the country and analyzing the state and dynamics of the scientific and technical potential of inventions, both in the country as a whole and in individual regions.
Relative indicators of inventive activity that can characterise the scientific and technical potential of the state have been determined. Recommendations have been made to improve statistical information in the field of innovation and intellectual property.
