Intellectual Property Market Architecture

Intellectual property serves as one of the main indicators of the socio-economic potential of the state. 

Digital technology offers enormous opportunities for incorporating creative products into economic circulation.

An in-depth cross-industry analysis of the world's leading economies has made it possible to develop a universal five-level IP market infrastructure, which simultaneously takes into account the interests of government, business and society and can work effectively regardless of the economic and cultural characteristics of the region.

The introduction of IP items into economic turnover on the basis of the presented infrastructure allows accelerating the processes of creation and monetization of creative products with a significant reduction of costs.
