  1. Innovation and Technology Transfer in Serbia ICEIRD, May 4th, Ohrid

  2. Practice in Serbia in Innovation Activities in relation to  experiences of other countries • According to the global competitiveness index, Serbia is at 85th place • (ranked ahead of Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Albania) • The report of the World Economic Forum for 2008-2009. • According to the innovation index, Serbia is at 91th place • (also ranked ahead of Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, but also ahead of Bulgaria) • Serbia is at 55th place according to the innovation indicators, according to (ranked ahead of Romania) The Economist Intelligence Unit’s document titled ”A new ranking of the world's most innovative countries”, sponsored by company Cisco Source: Ministry of Science and Technological Development, Republic of Serbia

  3. Current conditions in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship, given by the strategy of RD “Intellectual property in Serbia is either not produced or not protected " • According to the basic definition, technological development projects should result in directly applicable technical solutions • (such as applied technical solutions, patents, pilot plants, new varieties, innovation, technological advancement). • In the previous period (2003 - 2007) in the field of technological development, over  3,400 technical solutions were implemented. • Despite this high number of technical solutions, the number of patents registered by the R&D organisations in the period 2003 - 2009 was ONLY 54 patent applications.

  4. This figure is not much better in companies either, where approximately 20 patents are registered annually,  • However,  natural persons  registered  over 300 patents each year in this period. • Based on interviews with a number of these natural persons, it can be concluded that the lack of institutional support for patenting as the SRO or the company caused that many of them decide to cut costs by submitting the patent application in person. • In any case, the total number of submitted patent applications is quite poor.
