Systematic patent-information search as a basis for synthesis of new objects of intellectual property: Methodology and findings

Abstract

The article reveals that systematic patent-information search is a foundation for building the knowledge bases, which are used as a synthesis of new objects of intellectual property patented as results of intellectual activity. The article presents the methodology of building of knowledge bases and their use for the development of patentable solutions in various areas of science and technology. The knowledge bases are built upon the expanded collection and analysis of Russian and foreign scientific and technical information for the specific types of technology and technical equipment. The synthesis of patentable objects of intellectual property is carried out upon functional and technological analysis and brainstorming. The authors developed the methodology with the synthesis of patentable technological solutions from the field of cross-cutting technology that integrates the operations on food raw materials preparation and transportation, production of functional food, mining industry, manufacturing of equipment for spent nuclear fuel handling; exploration works in the field of timber industry and forestry, and low-temperature plasm.
