Formation of a Knowledge base in the Field of Patenting Technologies and Equipment for Involvement in the Processing and use of Woody Greenery in Industry, Agriculture and in the Social Sphere

Abstract

In recent years, the results of intellectual activity - numerous technological and technical solutions - have been patented for the basic operations of the forestry complex. Insufficient attention is paid to the formation of knowledge bases in the field of technologies and equipment for involving non-timber forest resources in the processing. The formation of databases in this area is caused by the identified trends in the development of products from various types of natural raw materials for the pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic industries and other spheres of the social sphere and the economy. Among the types of natural raw materials, an important place is occupied by raw materials with a wide range of biological effects, including woody greens. The development of a knowledge base in the field of involving tree greenery in various spheres of the social sphere and economy was carried out on the basis of a systematic patent search. The analysis made it possible to form a knowledge base about the main most characteristic technological and technical solutions patented in Russia in the field of harvesting, processing and use of greenery of tree species growing in Russia in industry, agriculture and in the social sphere. These solutions are classified according to the types of greenery used (complex of conifers, and in the context of woody greenery of fir, pine, larch, cedar and dwarf cedar, juniper, and deciduous trees). Within each class of patents in the field of wood greenery processing, patents are given taking into account the directions of their use, the effects achieved as a result of the implementation of patented solutions with the allocation of economic entities conducting patenting in the studied area. In this regard, the authors carried out research with the conduct of patent information search, collection and systematization of information. The state and tendencies of directions of patenting in the field of technologies and equipment for the use of tree greenery in industry and in the social sphere are revealed, the main goals of patenting (effects) are determined to achieve which the patented intellectual property objects are considered. The most interesting patents collected during the formation of the knowledge base are presented.
