The concept of innovation monitoring is used in broad and narrow meanings. The first is based on understanding innovation as a result of innovative activity at all stages. It is based on scientific and technical activity related to the creation, development, distribution, and use of scientific and technical knowledge in all fields of science and technology. Research and development works are carried out in this area, and innovations are based on them. The latter can be designed in the form of discoveries; inventions; patents; trademarks; rationalizing proposals; documentation for a new or improved product and technology, management or production process; know-how; new concepts; scientific approaches or principles; document (standard, recommendation, methodology, instructions, etc.); results of marketing research, etc.
