However, Russia has a modest position on this market. The intellectual products which have a considerable potential are not promoted on the market, therefore they do not manage to be competitive. The article makes the case for developing methods and means that will stimulate the creation and promotion of existing and future intellectual products on the market. In conclusion, the article outlines the main areas of work for the development of intellectual property market in the Russian Federation to overcome the monopoly of Western countries and China on the scientific production and high technologies market.
