The Creation of the Basic Inventions Classification Model for the Estimating Significance of Intellectual Property Objects considering the Development of Means of Protection against Weapons of Mass Destruction

Abstract

The relevance of the article is conditioned by the necessity to form scientific and methodological support for the process of identifying promising technical solutions, carried out in the course of scientific and technical examination of military and dual-purpose innovative projects on behalf of the Russian Federation Armed Forces. The aim of the paper is to create the basic inventions classification model for the estimating significance of intellectual property objects, namely weapons of mass destruction-oriented patents and utility models. The article is based on the system analysis and expert questioning methods. During research the authors suggested the basic inventions classification model, which includes preselection of inventions based on the predictive availability criterion, technical, scientific, techno-economic value estimation and calculation of integral value index. For the predictive prospectivity estimation, the universal selection forms of inventions were developed, which are matrix-type evaluation tables that take into account various characteristics of inventions, ranked by degree of importance; the universal selection forms for each type of invention («device», «method», «substance», «new purpose application») and groups of inventions («substance + method», «device + method») were developed as well. A new criterion characterizing the legal status of the invention for technical value estimation by the patent-legal indicators of the protection document is proposed. The obsolescence index of the techno-economic value calculation formula, which allows for more accurate calculations is introduced. The authors also grounded the time interval within which patent documents are searched for identifying the basic invention, equal to an average of ten years.
