Investigation of the potential for the development of microelectronics in the Novosibirsk region based on the analysis of patent portfolios of organizations

Microelectronics is widely used in various fields of science and technology: in modern control systems, radio engineering devices, devices and automation tools in industry, agriculture, transport and defense purposes. This determines the primary need for the development of this area. The strategy for the development of the electronic industry of the Russian Federation until 2030 is focused, among other things, on promoting Russian electronics to existing and international markets. Thus, the primary task is the legal protection of developments. Patent documents are an objective criterion for assessing the potential of technology development. The article evaluates the dynamics of scientific publications and patenting in the field of microelectronics in the Novosibirsk region, in Russia and in the world. This field is quite developed, the number of scientific publications and patents in the world has grown slightly over the past 20 years. There has been a decrease in the number of Russian patents in general and patents whose copyright holders are organizations registered in the Novosibirsk Region, in particular. This is a result of the deterioration of the political situation in the world. The imposition of economic sanctions against the Russian Federation was the reason why foreign companies were forced to stop investing in both research and development and in the production of Russian electronics. In these circumstances, some Russian companies have switched to protecting their developments in a trade secret mode. The main copyright holders and technology scientists working in electronic industry organizations registered in the region under consideration were also identified. The analysis of the level of development of microelectronic technologies in the Novosibirsk region was carried out, which showed that it corresponds to the world level.
