Tatarstan ranked the second place in the ranking of Russia's regions on the use of intellectual property in the economy

Tatarstan ranked the second place in the ranking of Russia's regions on the use of intellectual property in the economy. This is evidenced by the data of the Center for Regional Economic Research.
The rating published on the website of the Center, is based on the data from the Rosstat and Rospatent.

The intellectual property in this ranking refers to inventions (patents), useful models and industrial designs. Their use reflects to some extent the scientific and technical creativity of the subjects of the Russian Federation, corporations, companies, specific production.

The first ten ratings for the use of the intellectual property in economy include: Moscow, the Republic of Tatarstan, St. Petersburg, Perm, Moscow, Novgorod, Sverdlovsk, Tula, Samara and Chelyabinsk Regions. The regions occupying the first places, are also leading in the number of employees in the scientific and technical field, which is noted in the study.

The regions-leaders play the role of drivers of the country's economy and human capital. Their budgets are either full, as the budgets of the autonomous entities of the Russian Federation, or are supported at a nominally sufficient level by regional authorities.
