RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF AN AUTOMATED INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR ACCOUNTING AND CONTROL OF PATENT ACTIVITIES

This article is devoted to the research and development of an automated information system (AIS) for accounting and control of patent activities. The aim of the research is to create a system that allows effective management of the process of obtaining, maintaining and commercializing patents, as well as to control the timing, costs and legal status of intellectual property objects. As part of the work, existing patent practices were analyzed, the basic needs of users were identified, and functional and non-functional requirements for the system were identified. The result of the study was a developed and tested AIS, demonstrating an increase in the efficiency of patent portfolio management by automating key processes such as monitoring deadlines, preparing documentation, and analyzing competitors’ patent activity. The practical significance of the work lies in the possibility of using the developed system to optimize the patent activities of organizations, reduce risks and increase competitiveness.
