Patent

专利

Between 2020 and 2021, the number of patent applications [1] to theIPO decreased by 8.7% overall (from 20,651 applications to 18,854), with domestic applications (16,497 applications) decreasing by 10% and PCT applications (2,355 applications) increasing by 1.2%. While the number of patent applications has generally decreased in recent years, the same pattern has been seen in several European countries such as France, Germany, Ireland, Russia and Switzerland (2). Trends in patent filing has been researched in greater detail in The changing profile of users of the UK patent system analysis.

2020年至2021年间，向 IPO提交的专利申请(1)总体下降了8.7%（从20,651件申请减少到18,854件），国内申请（16,497件申请）下降了10%，PCT申请（2,355 件申请）增加了1.2 %。尽管近年来专利申请数量普遍下降，但在法国、德国、爱尔兰、俄罗斯和瑞士等几个欧洲国家也出现了相同的模式(2)。专利申请的趋势也在英国专利系统用户的变化情况分析中得到了更详细的研究。The number of patents published increased by 12.6% from 10,040 to 11,306 between 2020 and 2021. The overall number of patents granted increased by 11.5% to a record high of 10,895 between 2020 and 2021, with the number of domestic grants (7,540) increasing by 5.7% andPCT grants (3,355) increasing by 27.1%. This is due to an internal IPO's IP rights examination backlog brought to zero to reduce the backlog of outstanding examinations.2020年至2021年间，已公布的专利数量从10040项增加到11306项，增幅为12.6%。授予的专利总数增加了11.5%，达到历史新高的10895项，其中英国国内授权（7540项）增加了5.7%，PCT授权（3355项）增加了27.1%。这是因为IPO内部的IP权利审查没有积压案件，减少了未完成审查的累积。
