Study on the Two-way Mutual Promotion Model of Digital Economy Development and Intellectual Property Protection

China has good soil for the development of digital economy, but the development of digital economy cannot be escorted by intellectual property rights. At present, the development of digital economy is facing many challenges and risks, and the development of intellectual property protection in China is in a new transition period, however, there is still a lack of intellectual property protection in the digital economy. Based on the analysis of the development status of digital economy and intellectual property and the interrelationship between them, an operation model is built to promote the development of digital economy and intellectual property in both directions, with the government, enterprises, society and the public forming an "ecosystem" to participate in the operation of the model, and a guarantee mechanism is set up to ensure the sustainable development of the model.

Formation of economic and legal measures for the development of the market of intellectual property objects

The problems of intellectual property market development have been investigated. It is proved that without the successful functioning of this market it is impossible to ensure the innovative development of the country. The characteristics of the intellectual property market, as well as the factors restraining its development, have been determined. The most important of them are significant volumes of outflow of Ukrainian scientists to foreign countries, low quality of Ukrainian patents, high level of counterfeiting and piracy, corruption pressure on the development and use of intellectual property, insufficient level of material support, etc. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop measures to strengthen the factors that contribute to the development of the intellectual property market and reduce the negative impact of factors on the Ukrainian technological market. To achieve the goal, it is proposed to introduce organizational and legal measures to improve the working conditions of employees of the main scientific institution of the country, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) of Ukraine, the institutes of which produce most intellectual developments, as well as to form special financial and material mechanisms to support innovation at the expense of budget funds. Using the example of reforming the institutes of NAS, according to the proposed measures, proposals have been formed to preserve scientific personnel, intensify the cooperation of scientific institutions with business, built on the interest of all parties in the field of technology commercialization. Counteraction to counterfeiting is proposed to be carried out taking into account a more accurate calculation of the commercial risks to which business entities are exposed in the manufacture and use of innovations. It is recommended to strengthen the level of legal protection of exclusive rights. Legislative initiatives on the development of the intellectual property market have been formed, which relate to changes in patent legislation regarding utility models and bringing it to EU conditions

Promote or inhibit? The effect of the whole chain development of intellectual property on manufacturing firm performance.

With the promotion of intellectual property strategy, the whole chain development of intellectual property environment faced by manufacturing firms has been improved, but the effect of the whole chain development of intellectual property on firm performance still needs to be studied. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of the whole chain development of intellectual property on different types of manufacturing firm performance. A panel regression model is constructed based on listed manufacturing firms from 2010 to 2020, and this is tested empirically. The results of the study show that the whole chain development of intellectual property has a promotion effect on manufacturing firm performance, among which the promotion effect of intellectual property services is the strongest, followed by intellectual property utilization and intellectual property creation, and the promotion effect of intellectual property management has a significant lag, while the relationship between intellectual property protection and manufacturing firms performance is significantly negative. The promotion effect of the whole chain development of intellectual property on different types of manufacturing firm performance is heterogeneous, and the promotion effect of the whole chain development of intellectual property on the performance of small-scale, non-state-owned, medium-high-technology manufacturing firms is stronger than that of large-scale, state-owned, low-technology manufacturing firms. This study not only extends the research direction of intellectual property, but also adds to the literature on firm performance. In addition, the findings of this paper help government authorities to further optimize the strategic layout of the whole chain development of intellectual property, promote manufacturing firms to solve internal management problems, and achieve a positive interaction between the top-level design of the intellectual property and the bottom-level logic of manufacturing firms.

The Politicization of Intellectual Property Rights in the Context of Karabakh

Until recently, intellectual property law has been kept away from the political realm, as it was merely linked to economic and legal factors. However, in light of recent geopolitical processes and politically charged conflicts, political science has taken dominance in terms of intellectual property (IP) development and proclivities. In contemporary international politics, it is critical to explain and perceive IP tendencies and systems from the perspectives of political science and political economy, to consider appropriate retorts to processes arising from IPR conflicts in the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan during the occupation. Azerbaijan had been confronted with limitations of its control over its territory due to the nearly three decades of the Karabakh conflict. In this regard, the article will answer questions related to the violation of intellectual property rights, the exploitation of goods and services, as well as the other IPR problems encountered by Azerbaijan during the occupation of Karabakh.

ST-PBFT: An Optimized PBFT Consensus Algorithm for Intellectual Property Transaction Scenarios

For the current Intellectual Property (IP) transaction scenario, consensus nodes need to simultaneously consensus transactions of the same transaction type, resulting in low consensus efficiency, accuracy, and reliability, which seriously hinders the development of intellectual property. Based on the consortium chain, this paper proposes a secure and efficient blockchain-distributed consensus algorithm, ST-PBFT (Shard Transaction Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance), applied to the IP transaction scenario. The main contributions of ST-PBFT include the following: first, a grouping method based on the principle of consistent hashing is proposed to group consensus nodes, and nodes group consensus, which reduces the complexity of communication. Second, the transaction consensus group can process IP transactions in parallel, which improves the throughput of the algorithm. Third, a node reputation evaluation model is proposed, which can prevent byzantine nodes from being repeatedly elected as primary nodes. The experimental results show that ST-PBFT can significantly improve the consensus efficiency and reliability and reduce consensus latency.

Portfolio intelektualne svojine u funkciji unapređenja konkurentnosti u ekonomiji znanja

In the modern business environment tangible assets and traditional sources of competitive advantage tend to lose its strategic importance. The market value of most companies in most developed countries is based on intangible assets such as intellectual property, knowledge, innovation, etc. Financial analysts and investors increasingly recognize intellectual property as a key determinant of enterprise value and indicators of innovation - technical competence in the new era of economy based on knowledge. Intellectual property rights provide companies with the opportunity to differentiate their products through exclusivity, positioning in the existing markets or creating new ones, preventing competition from prevailing in a particular market and the reduction of risks and uncertainties relating to the introduction of new or improvement of existing products on the market. Intellectual property is a core of competitive advantage and business performance of the company. This understanding of intellectual property requires the efficient creation portfolio of intellectual property and the profitable use of one or more primary forms of intellectual property. By analyzing the data on the number of applications for the recognition of industrial property rights, we tried to make an assessment of the situation in the Republic of Serbia and determine the prevalence of certain forms of industrial property that have been registered in the last five years. The conclusion highlights recommendations for economic policies that promote the development and exploitation of intellectual property, contributing to the improvement of the competitiveness of companies and the entire economy.

Research on intellectual property financing mode of technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises

Intellectual property financing is a new way to effectively alleviate the financing difficulties of technology-based SMEs. Intellectual property securitization and intellectual property pledge financing complement and promote each other, which is conducive to broadening the financing channels of small and medium-sized enterprises, improving the environment for innovation and development of market entities, and promoting a virtuous cycle of innovation resources. China has gradually paid more attention to intellectual property protection and its transformation, promoted the development of intellectual property financing through continuous improvement of existing laws and regulations, and improved the professionalism of assessment institutions. Improving the information disclosure system, establishing a diversified capital investment mechanism based on the realization of intellectual property value, and comprehensively promoting the transfer and transformation of intellectual property rights are of great significance to guiding the transfer of financial capital to high-tech industries, promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and the cultivation and development of strategic emerging industries.

The Coupling and Coordinated Development of Intellectual Property and High-Quality Economy: Using China’s 30 Provinces as an Example

Research Background and Content. Intellectual property and high-quality economic development are mutually reinforcing and restrictive, China is a large but not a strong intellectual property country, and China’s high-quality economic development still has problems of inadequacy and imbalance. Based on the above research background, this paper mainly studies the relationship between the intellectual property system and the high-quality economic development system from the perspective of coupled and coordinated development. Research Objective. The objective is to measure the coupling and coordination degree between the intellectual property development system and the high-quality economic development system and to explore the spatiotemporal characteristics and differences in the coupling and coordination between the two systems. Research Method. Based on the data of 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) from 2013 to 2020, the methods used in this paper to analyse include entropy weight method, grey correlation analysis, coupling coordination degree model, and Dagum Gini coefficient. Research Results. The development of economic openness and innovation are more closely related to the development of intellectual property, and the protection, utilization, and creation of intellectual property are more closely related to high-quality economic development; the coupling coordination degree of the two systems shows the characteristics such as “high in the east and low in the west” and “coastal area is better than inland,” and the development of intellectual property lags behind the high-quality economic development; the coupling and coordination degree of the two systems shows a slight growth trend in most provinces, but the overall differences shows an expanding trend, and differences between regions are the main sources of overall regional differences. Research Innovation. Research innovation is to study the two-way relationship between intellectual property and high-quality economic development and to measure the coupling and coordination degree between the development system of intellectual property and the high-quality economic development system, and its spatiotemporal characteristics, regional differences, and sources of differences are analyzed. Research Value. Research value is to provide decision reference for the two-way empowerment of intellectual property and high-quality economic development and regional coordinated development.

Portfolio Method in the Evaluation of Intellectual Property Management Processes at the Regional Level

Introduction. Currently, a unified methodological concept for assessing the processes of intellectual property development at the regional level has not been formed. The predominant number of methods assessing the development of the sphere are based on the rating assessment of integral indicators. The methodology of strategic mapping is also be­ing applied. This paper proposes a methodological approach to assess­ing the maturity of intellectual property management processes based on the "IP portfolio of the region" model. In the practice of modern man­agement, the portfolio method is used to collect system reflection on the evaluated activity and present its results. In the field of intellectual property, this approach is successfully applied in the corporate prac­tice of RID management. For the purposes of managing the intellectual property sphere at the regional level, this method can be considered as innovative. Methods. The research methodology was based on the ap­plication of general scientific methods, such as: analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, construction and verification of hypotheses, comparison, modeling. Empirical data were processed using economet­ric models. Logical means of cognition were used in the formulation of conclusions. Results and Discussion. The developed methodological approach makes it possible to assess the maturity of intellectual prop­erty management processes at the level of the subject of the Russian Federation. The subject matter of the objects of the "IP portfolio of the region" includes: objects of patent rights, means of individualization, computer programs, databases. The model is based on a system of co­efficient-type indicators. The scales of ranking of regions based on the estimates of the "IP portfolio of the region" model are substantiated. The source of information for calculating the values of indicators are the databases of Rospatent and Rosstat. Conclusion. The results of the study are of practical significance and can be applied in the develop­ment of intellectual property development policy at the national and regional levels.

Science for whom? Examining the data quality, themes, and trends in 30 years of public funding for global climate change and energy research

Public spending for research and development is undoubtedly one of the most powerful tools for government policy in the areas of climate change and energy systems and technology innovation. However, existing datasets are currently fragmented, incomplete, and partial in their coverage. This study presents results from a more comprehensive, granular, and descriptive attempt to compile a dataset of global funding patterns on energy and climate research. To do so, it identified 114,201 potential projects funded by 154 research councils across 17 countries and the European Commission from 1990 to 2020 (with projected funding up until 2026). A smaller sample of 1000 illustrative projects were examined in greater detail. It finds that there are difficulties with accessible and available public data, including an inaccuracy of data on published websites or inadequate tracking and updating of project details. Research on energy and climate change is supported by a surprisingly broad base of inquiry, including research from the social sciences and economics but also the arts and humanities, engineering and technology, life sciences and medicine, and natural and physical sciences. Climate change adaptation research is the most funded general area, followed by climate mitigation via energy systems, transportation and mobility, geo/climate engineering, and industrial decarbonization. Funding has been allocated unevenly in favor of some specific technologies, e.g. resilience and adaption, energy efficiency, and electric vehicles. Publicly funded research benefits a very particular set of disciplines, e.g. communication studies, economics, computer science, and chemical engineering. Moreover, the funded projects reveal a striking diversity of methods, including literature reviews, surveys and original data collection, the development of intellectual property, case studies, qualitative research and energy modeling.

Synergetic evolution of the regional intellectual property management systems in China based on logistic model

The synergetic evolution tracks of the order parameters of the regional intellectual property management systems in China showed significant regional difference, and the intensity of policy incentive mechanism affected the synergetic evolution of the intellectual property management system. The evolution tracks of the intellectual property development capability of different regions showed a steady upward trend and showed an evolution process from convergent ordered state to divergent disordered state, while the evolution tracks of the intellectual property protection capability and intellectual property operation capability of different regions were gentle and converged and had a stable conformity relation.

Carbon capture and storage investment: Fiddling while the planet burns

<h2>Summary</h2> Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been recognized as a key technology in energy systems decarbonization. However, numerous attempts to deploy CCS failed, and the technology is still viewed as pre-commercial. Consequently, public investment in CCS has been largely limited to research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) in capture technology. While it is understood that private investment will typically focus on the development of intellectual property aimed at delivering a commercial advantage, there is a lack of evidence that public investment in CCS RD&D can deliver commercial viability. Here, we show that, while improved CCS technology in the electricity systems will deliver larger market shares to the technology developers, the benefit on overall system cost is negligible. Thus, public sector efforts should focus primarily on overcoming commercialization failures, such as the absence of CO₂ transport and storage infrastructures and other deployment barriers, leaving the development of intellectual property to the private sector.

The Impact of Blockchain Technology on International Trade and Financial Business

This article examines the impact of blockchain technology in the financial sector and international trade. The aim of the article is to measure the effect of blockchain technology on international trade and financial business. The paper uses methods of analysis and synthesis of information from researched academic articles, government programs, reports, and statistical data. The averages and regression analysis (in particular, the calculation of the Pearson coefficient) are used for getting analytical results. Graphic methods are used to summarize the information and to present the understudy materials. According to the results of the study, it can be concluded that blockchain technology has great potential for the development of international trade and financial business. It is possible by improving the settlement of international trade, applying smart contracts in the formation of the transaction, improving logistics chains, and reducing the speed of information and delivery processing, increasing the economic turnover. Blockchain has a positive impact on reducing costs for merchants and the banking sector, predicted by 2030 to decrease costs by 11% using this technology. The technology will have a very significant impact on the development of intellectual property, which could be particularly activated by the possibility of reducing the impact of pirated copying. It is possible to reduce corruption and fraud by applying blockchain technology in public procurement, which currently accounts for the bulk of international trade. Blockchain technology will add $3 trillion in additional business value by 2030 and $866 bln in international trade, including financial business.

Система інтелектуальної власності України: сучасний стан та перспективи розвитку

The article reviews the current state of the intellectual property system based on a wide range of sources. The author characterizes the general trends in the development of this sphere. She analyzes the main legal acts that determined the directions and principles of reforming the legal protection and enforcement of intellectual property.In the study, the author points out that Ukraine’s position is rather weak. In the report for 2022, the International IP Index is calculated for 55 countries of the world according to 50 unique indicators, which are divided into 9 categories. Ukraine's overall score is 19,87 out of 50 (39,74 %). There are significant difficulties in the implementation of national legislation and international treaties. The author emphasizes that despite the efforts of all branches of government at the highest level, there are still difficulties in law enforcement, lack of qualified specialists interested in the development of intellectual property. There are significant problems in the organization of the work of the High Court of Intellectual Property. The author emphasizes that not all legislative changes have a positive impact on the possibilities of intellectual property protection, some innovations require balanced approaches, taking into account the opinions of experts and practitioners.Reforms are accompanied by institutional changes. From November 8, 2022, the state organization «Ukrainian National Office of Intellectual Property and Innovation» became the entity performing the functions of the National Intellectual Property Authority. The head of the newly created institution emphasizes transparency of activities, strengthening of the expert corps, attraction of young promising personnel, quality information resources and comprehensiveness in its activities. As of December 2022, the reset of the intellectual property sphere continues, which is complicated by systematic massive missile strikes on the critical infrastructure of the entire state.

Економіко-правові засади захисту інтелектуальної власності: український та європейський досвід

The article is devoted to the identification and substantiation of economic and legal foundations of the system of intellectual property protection from the standpoint of the formation of domestic and European experience. The current stage of development of the world raises the issue of intellectual property protection in the context of ensuring economic development and increasing their attractiveness for international cooperation. Approaches to the definition of «intellectual property», objects of intellectual property and industrial property and their classification are widely covered in the scientific literature. It is determined that the object of intellectual property is an intangible result of intellectual activity, recorded on a tangible medium, and gives its author the exclusive ownership of this result, which is acquired, exercised and protected in accordance with applicable law. Given the importance of intellectual property for the development of countries, intellectual property law was formed as a separate sub-branch of civil law. It is established that the protection and defense of intellectual property is possible provided that the relevant legal framework. Modern legislation in the field of intellectual property includes the Constitution, Codes and Laws of Ukraine, Decrees of the President of Ukraine and Resolutions and orders of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, current standards in the field of intellectual property, departmental regulations, international treaties and agreements in the field of intellectual property. The institutional basis of the state system of legal protection of intellectual property is a number of specialized institutions with defined tasks and functions. The strategic tasks of the state on the development and protection of intellectual property in Ukraine are performed by the National Intellectual Property Office. Modern processes of reforming the system of intellectual property protection are associated with the process of European integration and implementation of the provisions of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU.

Defining success in open source hardware development projects: a survey of practitioners

Abstract Recent years have seen the rise of citizens as contributors to hardware product creation. This trend has increased attention to open source hardware (OSH): a phenomenon that extends the intellectual property management and development practices in open source software (OSS) into the design of physical objects. OSH projects are different from OSS projects due to product type, and distinct from traditional closed source new product development (NPD) ones due to their openness. These differences challenge the degree of applicability of existing project success definitions in the OSH context. To investigate project success in OSH, we conducted a qualitative survey with practitioners. We report characteristics of successful OSH projects through three identified themes: (a) value creation – the big-picture impact, (b) quality of output – the quality of the hardware and accompanying documentation and (c) project process – activities that contribute to success. We contextualise by comparing OSH with selected literature on the success of OSS and NPD project management. While our study confirms a similarity between OSS and OSH in defining project success, it also highlights themes that are uniquely important to the latter. These findings are helpful for OSH development practice and could provide lessons for OSS development and closed source NPD.
