Abstract—
The article discusses a number of key provisions on the predictive prospects for the development of research and development (R&D), presented by a team of authors of the Institute of Economic Forecasting, Russian Academy of Sciences (IEF RAS) in a monograph that provides a detailed description of the current state of Russian R&D, highlights the main problems that prevent the full realization of its potential to enhance innovation, and measures to improve efficiency and effectiveness are substantiated. The article draws attention to the need to take into account the the specific features of the Russian national innovation system (NIS), the incompleteness of the formation which does not allow it to fully function in the market. Attention is drawn to the differences in the dispositions of the state and business in the innovation process, to the new quality of business processes due to the influence of the communication revolution, to the importance of interaction with the global innovation system. A systematic approach to taking into account new phenomena should be reflected in a more complete adaptation of the NIS to market conditions and an increase in its effectiveness in the process of modernizing social production.

Notes
The current Federal Law On the Transfer of Rights to Unified Technologies, dated 25.12.2008, no. 284-FZ, firstly, was not initially a law of direct action, requiring specification in by-laws and, secondly, the transfer of technologies in it includes their redemption through the organization of an auction sale with the involvement of independent appraisers, etc. Al-most three decades ahead of it, the Bayh–Dole Act is an order of magnitude simpler.
It is considered to be the most successful law passed in the US in the last 50 years.
The first system of scientific and technical priorities and critical technologies was released in 1996.
In the Soviet Union, the slogan “to overtake without catching up” was cultivated.
