The tasks of the article are: 1) to survey the EU and the Lithuania documents about R&D priorities and initiatives; 2) to analysis the situation of published applications according to date of filing the application; 3) to determine the main R&D smart specialization directions according to published subclasses of International Patent Classification. To achieve these goals the analysis of scientific literature and survey research was used. The study reviewed 2005–2013 the Lithuanian State patent official Gazette and implemented published patent applications situation analysis.
Published patent applications. All published applications for inventions subdivided into the three groups. The number of applicants (inventors) in the separate application are ascertained. The number of published applications in the International Patent Classification sections for the 2005-2014 years are ascertained. Selecting published applications R&D and high technology development directions are described.
The tasks of the article are: 1) to survey of the scientific literature in the field of the development of scientific-technical progress and the main entrepreneurial concepts; 2) to survey the EU and Lithuanian documents about R&D priorities and initiatives; 3) to analysis the situation of published applications according to date of filing application In Lithuania regions; 4) to determine the main R&D smart specialization directions in the Lithuanian regions according to published subclasses of International Patent Classification.
Globalisation and demographics, trends and innovation, for example, environmental protection technology, biotechnology and health care, can be the basis for the sixth Kondratieff’s wave. Applied research is fundamental for the adaptation of research results in the activities of the organization. Created a technical object can be protected under patent law. Application of knowledge management tools and techniques of intellectual knowledge are being converted to an organization's competitive advantage. In today’s business more business part is realized with innovation activities, R&D works.
The most important principle of the Paris Convention is a national regime. The second important provision of the Paris Convention − the priority of the conventional rate. Patent documents provide a lot of information about the invention that helpful elsewhere, so it is an important complement to traditional sources of information in terms of the dissemination of technological and scientific information. Patent documents provide information about the technical characteristics, applications history and information about the invention.
In “Horizon 2020” will be funded by all parts of the innovation chain-from the idea to the market, in accordance with the 3 main evaluation criteria: high quality research, competitive industry and the benefits to the public.
After analyzing the scientific literature and the data from the survey research we came to the following conclusions: the main R&D smart specialization direction in the Lithuanian region according to published subclasses of International Patent Classification is C05G, F23B, A23L, B65D, E05B, F03G.
