Integrating management of intellectual products into the sci-tech information system of the specialized research institute

The process of intellectual products management is labor- and information-intensive, however it is seldom seen as an automation object. If ever automatized, it is at the level of control of intellectual property objects (IPO) when copyright protection documents are to be obtained. The author examines integration of intellectual products management (IPM) at the level of IPO control into the STI system as the broadly defined process. Controlling IPOs is one of the key processes of specialized research institutes that supports their status. The integration has increased the amount of user-available sci-tech information and contributed to the specialized research institute digitalization.
