Formation of regional conditions for innovative development of Russian small businesses

摘要

The sustainable development of the economy depends largely on the pace of innovation introduction, which is associated with the patent activity. The dependence of the economy of a country (region) on innovation and patent activity is well shown by specialists. The organization of patenting in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is insufficiently researched. The article presents the positive dynamics of the main economic indicators of China and the factors, ensuring their implementation. To identify the available reserves in this sector of the economy of our country, the interaction of small innovative enterprises (SIE) and patent organizations of the Russian Federation has been considered. In order to determine the significant characteristics and criteria, by which the SIE chooses a patent office, a questionnaire was conducted, the results of which allow to draw a conclusion regarding the ways to intensify patent activity. The proposed version of the methodology for assessing the effectiveness of patents at the initial stage of their formation will create a basis for the interaction of the state with the SIE and the SIE with patent offices at the regional level. Further research will be dedicated to specifying the elements of assessing the quality of patents, developing a methodology for assessing the quality of work of patent offices, formalizing the assessment procedure, and testing the developed methodology.
