Attention is due to the document “Principles of the State’s Pro-innovation
Policy” which identified three main objectives:
– stimulation and promotion of innovative attitudes in society and business
entities;
– assisting the development of institutions involved in innovations;
– building legal foundations of ownership transformations of science and
research organisations 49 .
Furthermore, the principles laid down in the document “Principles of the
State’s Pro-innovation Policy” resulted in implementing a number of financial
instruments, inter alia, acknowledgement of a wider range of R&D related expenses
as revenue costs 50 ; like investment expenditure on patents, licenses,
know-how, results of domestic scientific and research and development results,
insurance of innovation export contracts and accelerated depreciation of fixed
assets for R&D 51 .
Also the programme “Increasing Innovative Capacity of Economy in Poland
until 2006,” which paved the way for the innovation part of the “National Development
Plan for the years 2004-2006,” is worth noting. The programme assumes,
inter alia:
– the development of mechanisms and structures favouring innovative activities;
– the shaping of innovative attitudes in the economy;
– improvements in implementing advanced solutions in the economy;
