The terms «legislative authority», «executive authority», «judicial authority» (Article 6 of the Constitution of Ukraine) are derived from it. A state authority is a structurally organized element of the state mechanism, endowed with power and the necessary material means to carry out tasks related to the implementation of state functions. The system of these bodies forms the state apparatus. The state organization «Ukrainian National Office of Intellectual Property and Innovations» is based on state ownership, belongs to the sphere of management of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine and is a state non-profit organization. The office is a legal entity of public law, does not have the purpose of making profit and is a non-profit organization.
