Abstract
As the sphere of industrial property is known the environment with an internal unity in which a set of various types of creative and intellectual activity of a person are carried out, covering various spheres of economic and social life, as a result of which intellectual property objects are created (signs for goods and services, inventions, commercial names, geographical indications, etc.) whose rights are protected by the current legislation and their nature is non-material. State targeted programs are divided into: national programs of economic, scientific, technical, social, national- cultural development, environmental protection (hereinafter — national programs) are programs that cover the entire territory of the state or a significant number of its regions, have a long-term period of implementation and are carried out by central and local executive authorities; other programs whose purpose is to solve certain problems of the development of the economy and society, as well as the problems of development of individual economic sectors and administrative-territorial units requiring state support. The development of the State Program in the field of industrial property rights protection is the necessary continuation of the process of improving the intellectual property sphere in Ukraine. This is also due to the need for radical changes aimed to the use of the intellectual property as a strategic source in the system of forming national wealth and improving the competitiveness of the country’s economy, accelerating innovative development and integrating Ukraine into the international economic space. The aim of developing state targeted programs is to promote the implementation of state policy in the priority areas of the development of the state, individual economic sectors and administrative-territorial units; ensuring the concentration of financial, material-technical, other sources, production and scientific-technical potential, as well as coordinating the activities of central and local executive authorities, enterprises, institutions and organizations for resolving critical issues. The modern world community has passed to the stage of economic development called «knowledge-based economy». Therefore, the main goal of state policy in the intellectual sphere for the medium term is to promote the formation and implementation of a modern model of integrating the nation’s intellectual potential into the domestic and world markets, taking into account both the national specifics of the processes of transforming intellectual property into competitive products, and the corresponding world experience. Ensuring the sustainable development of the Ukrainian economy requires a full-fledged use of scientific and technical potential in the process of modernization of the economy, directing it to meet the real needs of the country’s economic development on the basis of an innovative model. Intellectual property should become a fundamental and strong instrument for creating the conducive environment for creative activity and free competition, as the basic bases for the economic, social, and cultural development of our state. The issue that should be given special attention during the development of the state program in the field of industrial property: improving the legal and organizational support for the transfer of knowledge in scientific institutions and higher education institutions in Ukraine; the establishment of the functioning and activity of the departments for the protection of intellectual property and the transfer of technology in universities and enterprises; open access to scientific publications; signing the contracts with enterprises, etc.
