WIPO launches IP Facts and Figures 2012


WIPO has launched 2012 IP Facts and Figures, which provides an overview of intellectual property (IP) activity based on the latest available year of statistics. Due to the time involved in collecting and reporting statistics to WIPO, most national and regional IP office statistics refer to 2010. 
Four types of industrial property, namely patents, utility models, trademarks and industrial designs has been covered in the publication. The publication focuses on application data only, which is the most often used measure of IP activity. 

The data used in the report have been taken primarily from the WIPO Statistics Database, which is based on WIPO’s Annual IP Survey and on data compiled by WIPO in processing international applications filed via the PCT, Madrid and Hague systems.
