The key problems hindering the development of innovations in Ukraine have been analyzed. A number of failures of the Ukrainian innovation market are presented. The main forms of state aid provided to compensate for these failures have been discussed.

The complexes of economic and legal relations, which are potential objects of the special regime have been emphasized. Remedies forming a special mode of innovative activity have been investigated.
