Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to compare data, covering four types of industrial property – patents, utility models, trademarks, and industrial designs in the period 2015-2020, based on the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Indicators. In the category patents and utility models are compared percentage shares of total patent applications by the top five offices; patent applications for the top 10 offices; top 10 Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) applicants; utility model applications for the top 10 offices. In the category trademark are compared percentage shares of total trademark filing activity by the top five offices; application class counts for the top 10 offices; Madrid international applications for the top 10 origins. In the category industrial design are compared percentage shares of total design filing activity by the top five offices; application design counts for the top 10 offices; designs in Hague international applications for the top 10 origins. The analysis shows the development in all areas of intellectual property (IP), which is directly related to raising awareness of IP issues in university environment.
