In 2022, the number of utility model applications worldwide increased by 2.9 percent compared to the previous year. While this is an improvement upon 2021, where applications decreased, 2022 was ultimately a huge difference to 2020 where the annual growth rate of utility applications worldwide was over 28 percent.

Note: World totals are WIPO estimates using data covering 83 patent offices. These totals include applications filed directly with national and regional offices and applications entering offices through the Patent Cooperation Treaty national phase (where applicable). China’s pre-2017 data are not comparable due a change in methodology. Due to this break in the data series and to the large number of filings in China, it is not possible to report accurately the 2017 growth rate at world level (see the data description section in Additional information for details).
