Methodological grounds of the patent landscape in the system of intellectual national security

Abstract

Keywords: intellectual property, national intellectual security, research methodology,patent landscape, comparative economic statistics
 The articleexamines intellectual national security in security science as a new direction of development,which requires the development of theoretical and methodological grounds inobtaining results that are fixed in the course of grounding of real external and internalthreats. It is grounded the need for deep study of the development of an effectivemethodology of intellectual national security, which includes methods of the patentlandscape, that determined the purpose of the study, which was the methodology ofthe patent landscape on the economic nature and patterns of development of intellectualnational security in the direction of counteracting internal and external threats.It is noted that the patent landscape is not a tool that has features of completeness,but is considered as a research methodology that includes methods of search andanalysis, evaluation of the results and their effectiveness of impact. It is consideredthe methodology of the research of patent landscape for the purposes of intellectualnational security, which aims to generalize methodical approaches for various tasksof counteracting internal and external threats in the system of intellectual nationalsecurity and includes technological analysis, competitive analysis, territorial analysisand analysis of patent portfolio (patented intellectual assets) of specific company or companies and requires concrete methodical support and standardization of reporting,and in some cases the establishment of standards or substantive restrictions. Themethodology is considered as a large-scale variant of patent search and from theangle of the real state and prospects of transformation processes in the direction of researchingthreats to national security using known global databases of patent statisticsand comparative economic statistics to identify benefits or waste of financial andmaterial resources.
