All this made it possible to typologize territories for the development of scientific and innovative activities in the context of a pandemic.The study compares the successes of Russia in confronting the pandemic and the scenarios for the development of these successes in various models of the development of information resources of the economy in the form of knowledge, competencies, OIC, intangible assets. The purpose of the article: typologization of the territories of the Russian Federation according to the qualitative characteristics of innovative growth and the evolutionary development of information resources of the economy, the effectiveness of the measures used to combat the pandemic, in order to develop patterns and contradictions in the development of scientific and innovative activities in the regions of Russia. The research objectives are: Typology of the territories of the Russian Federation by the quality of innovative growth; Conclusions of the research: The USSR had extensive experience in the methodology for the development of scientific and innovative activities known as the "catch-up development model". Japan in the 50-80s, South Korea in the 80-2000s and today's China and their regions and territories successfully apply it and achieve significant success in the development of scientific and innovative activities. This leads to evolutionary changes in the countries themselves and their regions, they evolve each time the following groups, higher in terms of development. This methodology using open innovation methods can be perceived in Russia and its regions. For a more detailed demonstration, the article developed the patterns and contradictions of the existing model for the development of scientific and innovative activities in a pandemic. Which showed that the reached limits of economic growth in the 90-2000s by type, exclusively related to the investment model, as well as the introduced elements of the transitional type of the model to catch-up have their solution through the use of the open innovation method. This method makes it possible to deeply and thoroughly process foreign intangible assets in order to obtain, on their own technological basis, their own IP, the introduction of which and transformation into intangible assets takes place in TNCs and state corporations. Thus, the protection of the exclusive rights obtained by the method of open innovation is carried out by big business, which has all the necessary resources for this, especially in the countries of the global center and catching-up development.
