Digital Transformation of the Patent Information Services

Relevance. At present, there are significant changes in the modern systems of official publication of patent offices. The paper discusses the concept of digital transformation in relation to official publication systems and the construction of a client-oriented Agency. The new publication requirements include requirements for effective search for information about inventions and utility models, requirements for providing information about changes in legal status, requirements for providing analytical information, and requirements for citation information. Methodology: the research is based on complex and systematic analysis, general scientific methods of cognition-analysis and synthesis, dialectical method, systematization and classification, process and system approaches, as well as the method of comparison. Results. New goals of the publication system and requirements for Electronic publication systems as information service systems are formulated. It is proposed to create and develop new electronic publishing systems based on the use of customer-oriented digital platforms of the service architecture. The main point of contention is that the improvement of electronic publishing systems of patent offices and their transformation into information service systems, with its huge public benefit, can become a negative factor for commercial enterprises that provide search and information services on a paid basis.
