Trends and prospects for the development of intellectual property in biotechnology and food technologies: an analysis of university technology transfers to the food systems economy

The article covers the analysis of intellectual property development trends in the field of biotechnology, including food technologies, and bioeconomy on the example of structural units of the Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU). Currently, there is a significant growth of patent activity of production organizations in the field of biotechnology and food technologies. Accordingly, there are prerequisites for increasing the share of intellectual property in the above spheres and among higher schools. In order to analyze the intellectual property objects of FEFU and compare the existing trends with the national trends, the author obtained data from open sources on registered intellectual property objects of FEFU for the full 5 years from 2020 to 2024. It was determined that the basis of patents of FEFU are intellectual property objects in the field of food technology and biotechnology, and the number of certificates for computer software and databases in the field of bioeconomy is also growing. It is concluded that the university does have a comparable trend with the national trend to increase the number of intellectual property objects in the field of biotechnology and bioeconomy, thus, food science occupies the leading position in the total structure of registered patents in FEFU.
