PATENT ACTIVITY IN THE GREEN ECONOMY: CURRENT STATE AND PROBLEMS

Abstract. The paper is devoted to the analysis of the situation with patenting in two leading sectors of the green economy of Ukraine, namely “green” energy and organic agriculture. Both sectors are becoming increasingly important, especially in the context of the need to fight against global warming and increase the supply of high quality food. Official statistics on the functioning of these sectors and on their innovation activity in Ukraine is insufficiently complete and detailed. Various surveys conducted by business associations and think tanks are an important source for assessing the situation in these sectors. In this paper, we use these sources, but supplemented the analysis with data on patenting by Ukrainian actors. The regional analysis of “green” patenting activity shows that out of 25 regions of Ukraine, five regions were the most active: Kyiv (including Kyiv sity itself), Kharkiv, Dnepropetrovsk, Vinnytsia and Lviv regions. Regions with an average level of activity: Zaporizhzhia, Odesa, Poltava, Kherson, Kirovograd, Rivne. The patent data show that the connections between the various organizations involved in the development of the green economy in the country are quite weak. This can be explained by technological backwardness, relatively small domestic markets for the relevant products and limited access to foreign markets. The shortcomings of the patenting system also contributed to problems with the protection and implementation of innovations in the “green sectors”. It is obvious that at the present stage of development, the state should play a more active role in stimulating the creation and development of innovative activities, in particular, in stimulating patent activity and cooperation within the framework of the national innovation system in Ukraine.
