MODELS OF INTELLECTUAL RIGHTS REGULATION IN FOREIGN PRACTICE

Abstract

Introduction. In the context of globalization of the economy and rapid development of high technologies, intellectual property has become a key strategic resource for the state. Effective protection of rights to the results of intellectual activity directly affects innovation activity, investment attractiveness, and the stability of the competitive environment. Studying international experience allows us to identify successful approaches to the regulation and protection of intellectual rights that can be applied to improve the national system of protection of RID. Methods. The article uses methods of comparative and structural analysis, induction and deduction, economic and statistical approaches, as well as an analysis of international and national practices of intellectual property protection. Analysis. Based on statistical data from the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and national patent offices, the article analyzes the dynamics of patent activity, trademark registration, and industrial design registration in the leading countries of the world. Special attention is given to Asian countries, including China and India, as well as the United States and the European Union. The article identifies key trends, such as the growth of high-tech and digital intellectual property, the increasing role of the government in promoting innovation, and the development of specialized R&D support infrastructure. Results. It has been established that increasing the level of intellectual property protection contributes to increased investment in R&D, accelerates the development of high-tech industries, and strengthens the competitiveness of national economies. China is characterized by a sharp increase in patent activity and the establishment of technology parks, while the EU is characterized by a steady increase in the use of R&D in industry and trade, and the United States is characterized by a utilitarian approach to copyright and a comprehensive system of patent protection. These findings can be used to improve national strategies for regulating intellectual property and supporting the innovation economy.
