The Smart City open patent landscape, a unique publication for Russia, was created by the Project Office of the Federal Institute of Industrial Property (FIPS) in cooperation with Dentons, the world’s largest law firm, and the RoboLaw Research Center for Problems of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Regulation, an autonomous nonprofit organization, with expert support from the Internet of Things Association and the National Research Institute of Technologies and Telecommunications, the open patent landscape summarizes the results of patent analysis of the set of engineering solutions and administrative measures typical of a modern innovative megapolis.

The partners discovered that Smart City technologies have been patented intensively in the last 3 years. 

• Today, there are about 33,000 technological solutions in this area in the world, and 4 out of every 5 of them are from China. 
• 115 Smart City patent families are in use in Russia, with 4 out of 5 solutions being foreign technologies. 
• 30 countries have market potential for such kind of solutions, and only 20 of them have their own inventions, which presents an opportunity for Russian developers, especially in the rapidly growing market of India.
