Abstract
The low efficiency of intellectual property (IP) in the public sector in our current economic environment is largely due to the insufficient development of the prevailing accounting and analytical system. Analytical methods, and the information basis of their application, are the core of this system. The formation of an accounting and analytical system consistent with the development priorities of public sector entities requires special research.This article provides a review of the methods and tools of analysis used by Russian and foreign scientists in the field of IP. Our research sample comprises 52 foreign and 39 Russian sources. Through a detailed textual analysis process, we systematise the existing methods used in the analyses of certain aspects of intellectual activity, and assess the information disclosure therein. Our evaluation is targeted towards identifying prospects for harmonising Russian and international approaches, and provide the groundwork for the improvement of accounting and analytical support for IP management in the public sector.Our results reveal possibilities for expanding the system of IP analysis methods for solving problems in the field of the IP economics and management on the basis of patent analytics. We also collate and classify patent analytics methods, and identify existing methodological problems at the macro- and microeconomic levels. Analytical methods are grouped inaccordance with three stages of the reciprocal model of IP accounting and analysis in the public sector, developed within the framework of a novel theoretical and methodological approach.In conclusion, we illustrate the potential for applying the methods of nonlinear dynamics and the dynamic theory of innovation (re: patent information) to determine the trajectories of public sector entity development concerning levels of information disclosure. We also identify areas for follow up research revealed through our analysis.
Highlights
Issues around intellectual property (IP) analysis and the efficiency of such analysis have grown in relevance in recent years
Holgersson and S. van Santen, which comprised 12 review papers and over 400 articles dedicated to certain management areas, revealed that this topic in general has been on the rise since the 2000s, showing a substantial increase in the number of published papers. In this author’s opinion, a significant revelation is the fact that most of the research is related to patent rights items and that substantially smaller attention is paid to other IP items and issues of alignment of patent and business strategy in general in the field of strategic management [1]
The analytical methods considered within our survey research may be systematised in accordance with the stages of the offered reciprocal model of IP accounting and analysis in the public sector (Table 1)
Summary
Issues around intellectual property (IP) analysis and the efficiency of such analysis have grown in relevance in recent years This is especially the case in the public sector, where global development trends are related to the strengthening of the role of public sector entities in the area of science and innovation. Theoretical and methodological research and methodological guides dedicated to IP analysis are currently not sophisticated enough (можно оставить так) and offer no opportunity to develop reasoned recommendations for improving efficiency or choice of the best ways to commercialise IP. This situation has been described in a number of research papers published over recent years. University-industry research cooperation, efficient collaboration of public and commercial entities [3], measurement of the innovation potential of research and development centers in the public and commercial sector [4], and the development of effective technology transfer models each represent multifaceted and significant areas of relevance
