Abstract: Article is dedicated to issues of forming information society in Russia nowadays. The main characteristics and challenges of modern information society are described. The development of the information systems is aimed at the control of the Russian economy. It is closely connected with the changes in the various fields of these systems’ application. The transition to a civilized market economy is characterized with the changes at both: at the macroeconomic level, i.e. in the Russian economy as a whole, and at the microeconomic level, i.e. in the enterprises, organizations and institutions. Summing up all of the above, we can observe the emergence of fundamentally new economic concepts, objects, business entities, changing ranges of goods and services. On these circumstances, information systems are subject to radical changes to support economic activities. The rapid growth and differentiation of the demand for all kinds of information, including scientific, technical, economic, financial and commercial data, as well as increasing demand for the information content and the forms of its presentation, are the dominant incentive for the development of information systems to exchange electronic data. Thanks to scientific and technological achievements and innovative process, we can see and apply new hardware and software. So-called information revolution as a consequence of scientific and technological progress of recent decades can be characterized by the emergence of the network economy and the development of the information society. International communication and implementation of information technology in the production and management processes, integration of global information networks provided the emergence of new management models aimed at the cooperation processes of economic entities operating on the basis of a global network of business interactions. The importance of the use of patent information in developing and manufacturing innovative high-tech products and services is also stressed in this paper. The method of complex search and use of patent information is presented in the article. The technique of the work with global patent information is based on patent search on patent databases of international patent organizations and Rospatent. Patent information, contained in the world patent databases, allows the organization to solve the basic problem of innovative activity: to determine the existing state of the art and the leading direction of innovations, to create technological innovations on the basis of the achieved technical level and to register the enterprise’s ownership on new invention and innovations. In the article the methods of conducting patent research to determine the world state of art through the use of patent databases on the websites of the Federal Institute of Industrial Property (FIPS), the European Patent Office (EPO), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is described. The basic components of modern information resources of the network economy are outlined. Major Russian government programs defining development strategy in the fields of information society development and innovations – the State Programme "Information Society 2020" and The Strategy of Innovative Development of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2020 "Innovative Russia – 2020" – are reviewed in this paper.
