AN ANALYSIS OF WORLD AND EURASIAN TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MARKET
The world intellectual property market is developing at a high pace. The world trade turnover on the intellectual property market in 2015 reached almost 700 billion dollars (which is 4.7 times more than in 2000), in middle income countries it increased tenfold over the same period, and in some Eurasian Economic Union member states it showed a ten- to hundredfold increase. However, 99% of the income from intellectual property are appropriated by high income countries (the USA: 40%), which means an extremely high monopolisation of this market. At the same time, industrial intellectual property and its efficient use are a basis for the development of high technology production and raising the competitiveness of the economy, being a necessary link on the way from scientific research and development to new generations of equipment and technology of a new technological pattern. The world trends in the development of this market as well as the position of Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union there based on the statistical data of the World Bank and the World Intellectual Property Organisation are considered in the paper. A justification is presented for working out a single intellectual property market development strategy for the Eurasian Economic Union.
