Experts from the Statistical Research Institute and Knowledge Economy of the Higher School of Economics of the National Research University (WIPO academic partner) told Kommersant that an increase in innovation was recorded in Russia at the end of 2023, so It is difficult to objectively evaluate the country’s position in the WIPO ranking.
