This paper uses patent statistics as an indicator of the technological development of individual economic sectors. The aim of the study is to identify the priority sectors for development in each of the countries in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), using the data on the number of patents applied for and granted through the EPO in the period 2014-2024. The object of research is the development of technological areas and directions, and patent activity has been chosen as a subject of research, as an indicator of technological development. Using empirical research methods, the technological areas, and technological fields with the highest concentration of patent rights and their development in the period 2014-2024 are deduced. In conclusion, we recognize a growing need to promote research and increase investment in R&D in CEE countries to achieve a higher level of technological development, following the example of leading countries.

  THE SCIENTIFIC INTEREST TO "E-MARKETPLACES" - A BIBLIOMETRIC STUDY

  Electronic commerce, e-trade platforms (e-marketplaces) and Internet have been growing parallelly and continuously in the last more than three decades. In our paper we conduct a bibliometric study on data from the Web of Science (WoS) database for the period 2000-2025 (730 sources with 19947 references and 11.63 average citations per document). ... Electronic commerce, e-trade platforms (e-marketplaces) and Internet have been growing parallelly and continuously in the last more than three decades. In our paper we conduct a bibliometric study on data from the Web of Science (WoS) database for the period 2000-2025 (730 sources with 19947 references and 11.63 average citations per document). Revealing the evolution of the notions about e-marketplaces over time, we observe a remarkable regularity of research matching the maturing of the market itself and Chinese authors having emerging and growing importance. Core topics in the research group around three areas - strategy, business aspects and organisation of commerce, covering both business and technical aspects of e-commerce.
