Abstract
The presented material highlights the analysis of trends in the development of intellectual property in the field of biotechnology, including food technologies and bioeconomy. Key trends in patent activity and dynamics of intellectual property objects have been identified, which will help to understand the effectiveness of the university's scientific activities and its contribution to the development of the bioeconomy, as well as address the problem of assessing the effectiveness of the university's scientific activities through intellectual property. The author obtained data from 2020 to 2024 on all intellectual property objects in the fields of biotechnology and food technology at Far Eastern Federal University, a leading university in the Eurasian region. The following conclusions were drawn: despite a decline over the five-year period in the registration of new intellectual property objects, patents are primarily based on intellectual property in the areas of food technology and biotechnology, with an increase also seen in certificates for computer programs and databases in the field of bioeconomy. It was concluded that there is indeed a trend comparable to the national one towards increasing the number of intellectual property objects in the fields of biotechnology and bioeconomy within the university, with food sciences leading in terms of registered patents, possibly due to both the established culture of paying special attention to patenting and the development of food technologies and biotechnology within the university and the country as a whole. The article will be useful to researchers dealing with issues of innovation and commercialization of scientific achievements, as well as specialists in the fields of biotechnology and food industry.
