WIPO IP Facts and Figures 2023 Summary

Core Content

WIPO's IP Facts and Figures 2023 provides an overview of global intellectual property (IP) activity based on the latest available statistics for 2022. It covers five types of industrial property: patents, utility models, trademarks, industrial designs, and geographical indications (GIs). The report serves as a quick reference guide, emphasizing application data as the primary measure of IP activity.

Key Findings

Global IP Applications and Active Rights

Patents: Total global patent applications in 2022 reached 3.5 million, a 1.7% increase from 2021.
Utility Models: Total utility model applications increased by 2.9%, reaching 3.0 million.
Trademarks: Global trademark filing activity declined by 14.5%, totaling 15.5 million class counts. This drop may reflect a return to normal levels after a surge in 2020 due to the pandemic.
Industrial Designs: Industrial design applications decreased by 2.1%, totaling 1.5 million. Design counts, which include the number of designs within applications, also dropped for the first time since 2014.

Regional Contributions

Asia continued to dominate global IP filing activity, accounting for over two-thirds of all applications for patents, trademarks, and industrial designs, and nearly the entire utility model activity.
Asia's share of patent applications increased significantly from 56.1% in 2012 to 67.9% in 2022.
