Abstract. Relevance. The article is devoted to the issue of activation of the domestic agro-industrial complex’s (APC) patent and licensing activities as the most important resource of its advanced innovative self-development and effective adaptation to new realities caused by patterns of the large-scale transformational changes in the processes of changing technological setups, as well as the need to minimize unfriendly states’ unprecedented sanctions aimed at restricting access to goods and technologies with a high intellectual component. The study relevance of the forced transfer issue of the agro-industrial complex of rural areas to the intellectual development vector increases sharply due to the insufficient development of methodological tools for assessing the use effectiveness of its intangible assets in terms of achieving strategic goals of ensuring food security and sovereign self-development of the Russian Federation regions. The purpose of the research is to assess the current state and prospects for the transition of Russian APC to an intellectual development vector based on the information resource patent. The main research methods are the following: 1) scientometric analysis of the research’s publication field; 2) data economic and statistical analysis on the state of agriculture in the Russian regions; 3) rating method for assessing agriculture in the Russian regions; 4) ecosystem approach to evaluating the patent activity effectiveness. Results. Special attention in the methodology of the author’s research was paid to the issues of increasing the regional agro-industrial clusters’ patent potential based on an ecosystem approach to intellectual property management. The proposed methodological tools of the study make it possible to timely clarify the priority directions for the new structure formation of the intellectual property ecosystem in the agro-industrial complex of the Russian regions, transfer from managing import substitution processes to proactive import substitution projects management, strengthen territorial integrity and expand the institutions’ range of coordinating high-tech projects and supporting the development of highly intelligent entrepreneurship networks. The scientific novelty of the research results lies in the application of an ecosystem approach in the assessment of the effectiveness in patent activities of APC and agriculture of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, as it makes it possible to determine the monetary and institutional factors of their uneven access to competencies of intellectual property management.
