A Method of Use International Patent Resource in the Study of the Directions of Development of Innovative Technologies (on the Example of GLONASS / GPS)

The paper describes a method of use international patent resource in the study of the directions of development of innovative technologies (on the example of GLONASS / GPS). In order that innovations to ensure increased labor productivity and commercial income, it is necessary at the pre-project stage of their creation to conduct system studies in the relevant technological subject area, to identify the general state and direction of innovative technologies development in the world and / or in the territories of individual countries, identify competitors and determine the directions of their activity, to collect information about what technological projects they are working on [1]-[3] To solve such problems, innovative organizations around the world actively use international patent resources, since the patent is the first publication that can indicate a possible marketing plan of competitors, and 70-90% of information contained in patent documents is not published anywhere else.
