WIPO发布2021年度世界知识产权报告：中国成功卫冕五项申请量冠军
3357Recently, WIPO released the 2021 World Intellectual Property Indicators. The report revealed that the Worldwide trademark-filing activity boomed in 2020, defying a global economic downturn and signaling vibrant entrepreneurship and the introduction of new goods and services in response to the pandemic.
Worldwide patent-filing activity returned to growth in 2020 after the first dip in a decade in 2019, driven by a decline in China. In 2020, China’s IP office reported growth again with 1.5 million patent applications. This was 2.5 times more than the amount received by the patent office of the second leading country, the United States (USPTO; 597,172). The U.S. was followed by Japan (JPO; 288,472), the Republic of Korea (KIPO; 226,759) and the European Patent Office (EPO; 180,346). Together, these five offices accounted for 85.1% of the world total.
An estimated 13.4 million trademark applications covering 17.2 million classes were filed worldwide in 2020. The number of classes specified in applications grew by a remarkable 13.7% in 2020, marking an eleventh successive year of growth. Many countries around the global saw a considerable downturn in economic activity during the COVID-19 pandemic. In contrast, trademark filing activity grew substantially in 16 of the top 20 offices. In fact, 11 offices recorded double-digit growth in 2020, ranging from 12.2% in Germany to 44.3% in Indonesia. In most cases, growth in resident filings drove the overall growth.
An estimated 1.1 million industrial design applications containing 1.4 million designs were filed worldwide in 2020, representing a 2% year-on-year increase. China’s IP office received applications containing 770,362 designs in 2020, corresponding to 55.5% of the world total. It was followed by the EUIPO (113,196) and KIPO (70,821), USPTO (50,743) and Turkey (47,653).
Around 22,520 plant variety applications were filed worldwide in 2020, up +5.1% on 2019. China’s relevant office received 8,960 plant variety applications in 2020, corresponding to 39.8% of the world total. China was followed by the Community Plant Variety Office of the European Union (CPVO; 3,427) and relevant offices of the U.S. (1,432), Ukraine (1,260) and the Netherlands (837).
Data from the 92 national and regional authorities show there are an estimated 58,800 protected geographical indications (GIs) in existence in 2020. GIs are signs used on products that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities or a reputation that are due to that origin, such as Gruyère for cheese or Tequila for spirits. Germany (14,394) reported the largest number of GIs in force, followed by China (8,476), Hungary (7,566) and the Czech Republic (6,180).
The Director General - Daren TANG of WIPO said that our mission is to develop a balanced and effective IP ecosystem and to ensure that IP, innovation and creativity act as powerful catalysts for jobs, investments, economic development and social vibrancy for everyone, everywhere. As we cast forward and towards what we hope will be a robust, sustainable and truly global economic and social recovery, the rich dataset of the World Intellectual Property Indicators report can help to guide policymakers and practitioners around the world. Inside, you will find key insights on the future direction of the global economy, as well as evidence of the increasingly important role that IP, innovation and creativity are playing in supporting economic, social and cultural development.
