Abstract
This article discusses the main trends in the dissemination of the results of intellectual activity on the impact on the environment of industrial and household waste. Particular emphasis is placed on the analysis of patent activity in the countries of the European Union, OECD and Russia. We consider the patent as a tool of new technologies in the struggle for environmental cleanliness during the transition to a circular economy. A circular economy is an economy with advanced technology, sustainable development, and a production culture that grows through inventive activity. The article presents the results of an analysis of the state of patent activity by country in dynamics from 1990 to 2018-2019. At the same time, we conducted a study of the factors influencing patent activity using regression analysis and identified the most significant factors affecting the resulting indicator.
Highlights
New technologies are becoming the basis of economic development in the 21st century
Sustainable development of the economy is the balanced development of three elements: ecology, economy and social sphere
The statistical analysis of the leading countries and Asian countries with data of patent activity in Russia showed that the total number of patents over the last 810 years decreased in almost all countries. 2006-2011 are the most technologically advanced years, after these years in many countries there is a decrease in the peak of patent activity.

Summary
New technologies are becoming the basis of economic development in the 21st century. The introduction of innovations is an important factor in the economic development of any state. Scientific and technical developments in the form of inventions and patents help accelerate the process of technology transfer to the real sector of the economy. They are able to raise any direction to a higher level, both of individual manufacturing companies and the economy as a whole. Wastewater treatment, utilization of household and industrial waste, and the use of waste material as energy are the dominant trends in the circular economy. The development of these areas can ensure the sustainable development of the country
