The tools of the modern intellectual property (IP) system patents, trademarks, designs, geographical indications, copy- right and others ensure that those sparks of genius are channeled to market as life-enhancing products. As the United Nations agency promoting the worldwide use of IP, one element of WIPOs mandate is to craft knowledge products that document the latest trends in IP, innovation and creativity to promote the use of IP for the benefit of all. That is why each year we produce our unique, bench- mark World Intellectual Property Indicators (WIPI) report, which draws on WIPOs central position in the global IP system to collect and analyze IP data from some 150 national and regional offices around the world. The World Intellectual Property Indicators 2020 report covers 2019 data, predating the human and economic shock of the COVID-19 pandemic. What this years WIPI documents, however, is a strong foundation of IP activity that will serve as a base for new advance- ments as the pandemic subsides. In 2019, trademark and industrial design filing activ- ity increased by 5.9% and 1.3%, respectively. A 3% decline in global patent applications, the first fall in a decade, was driven by a drop in filings by Chinese residents amidst an overall shift in regulations there aimed at optimizing application structures. Excluding China, global patent filings rose 2.3% the highest rate of growth in years. The rich data and insights contained in this report are of critical value to a broad audience. Policy makers use it to understand a competitive global economic environment. IP offices, as well as WIPO, use the fig- ures to guide their operational planning. Researchers rely on our findings to understand which technologies are being developed, and where. The private sector and IP professionals can benefit from data in the WIPI identifying trends affecting their industry and the economy at large. I sincerely hope all WIPI readers find this report illuminating. I would like to thank our member states, as well as national and regional IP authorities, for sharing their annual statistics with WIPO especially in light of the many constraints due to the pandemics containment measures. Their invaluable cooperation makes the World Intellectual Property Indicators possible.

This represents a 3% decrease on the previous year and the first decline since the 2009 financial crisis (figure 1.1). A substantial decline in filings in China was the main driver of the decrease in the global total the China patent office received around 141,300 fewer applications in 2019 than it had in 2018. Japan (5,598), the Russian Federation (2,446) and the United Kingdom(U.K.) (1,691) also received considerably fewer applications in 2019. Of the 3.2million applications filed worldwide in 2019, resident applicants filed 2.2million (69.2% of the total), while non-resident applicant filed the remaining mil- lion(30.8%). Resident share decreased from 71.5% in 2018 to 69.2% in 2019, mainly due to the fall in resident filings in China. The long-term trend shows patent applications grow- ing worldwide every year since 1995, apart from 2002, 2009 and 2019, when they decreased by 0.9%, 3.8% and 3%, respectively. Despite a substantial decline, the China office received the highest number of patent applications in 2019 The National Intellectual Property Administration of the Peoples Republic of China(CNIPA) received 1.4million patent applications in 2019. This is more than twice the amount received by the United States Patent and Trademark Office(USPTO). The USPTO ranked sec- ond, with 621,453 applications, followed by the Japan Patent Office(JPO), with 307,969 applications, the Korean Intellectual Property Office(KIPO), with 218,975 applications, and the European Patent Office(EPO), with 181,479 applications. Together, the top five offices accounted for 84.7% of the world total in 2019, which is 8.3 percentage points higher than their combined share for 2009. Among the top five offices, Chinas share of the world total has increased considerably over the
