Abstract
Research activity can be considered the engine of innovation.
Patents are a method of protection for inventions that result from the research process.
Computer programs, although not patentable in themselves, have proven over time to be effective in the permanent improvement of processes and equipment used in the horticultural field.
The purpose of the study was to analyze the global impact of technology, primarily computer programs, on patents obtained in the horticulture field.
Through this study, we analyzed the share of computer program use in patents obtained in the field of horticulture.
At the same time, we analyzed the spread of global computer program use in horticultural innovations and its correlation with their economic impact.
To provide the most relevant information, the analysis of databases from the main institutions and organizations in the field of intellectual property at national, regional, and global levels was considered.
