THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE SYSTEM OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION OF THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AS THE BASIC PRINCIPLE OF SETTING UP THE INNOVATIVE MODEL OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF UKRAINE

Abstract

The economically developed countries are looking for possibilities to realize the innovative ideas into the production sphere as well into the sphere of every-day life of their citizens. It creates the opportunity to enhance the quality of life of the population and to make higher profit. Unfortunately, the realization of these ideas and projects is implemented ineffectively, and it is they that are the key to Ukraine’s future: economic growth or stagnation. The state is a motive force of the technological advance, as it has taken the risks and liabilities which the market is unable to perform. Firstly, it is a proper legal protection of the intellectual property and lack of corruption practice in corresponding state institutions. Secondly, it is the stimulation of mental work production. Thirdly, it is the development of the effective system of regulation of relations in the intellectual property sphere. Fourthly, it is the support of the enterprises which use the results of mental work in their production process. Ukraine possesses a high scientific potential. But ineffective functioning of the state system of intellectual property and a low level of budgetary financing deters the processes of commercialization of the scientific research results, as well as the innovative development and the economic growth. In particular, the domestic legislation is not ideal and fails to keep pace with European Norms. There are some corruption schemes and malpractice in the state system of intellectual property management. In Ukraine the system of innovations is represented mainly by the scientific sphere, but a state support in the sphere of legal protection and commercialization of intellectual property is rather insignificant. The main problems of Ukraine on the way to the innovative development which are necessary to solve in order to enhance the economic potential can be roughly divided into some groups: economic, social, legislative and institutional. Having a desire to create a developed economy the government started introducing the reforms which could eliminate shortcomings of a state system, but the steps which can promote to an effective intellectual property state management are rather slow and Ukraine is compared with the third world countries in all international ratings. The steps which Ukraine should make on the way to an effective management in the sphere of intellectual property and to the development of innovative model of the economy are: to complete the judiciary-, tax- and custom system reforms; to bring the Ukrainian legislation close to the European standards; to fight corruption; to elaborate on the priority guidelines of financing; to motivate the entrepreneurs to the innovative activity; to introduce the privileged credit; to popularize science and knowledge.
