Intellectual property (IP) statistics is one of the main indicators of innovation and technological development of a country/national economy. In this regard, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) presents annual comparative analysis of worldwide IP statistics entitled World Intellectual Property Indicators. The data sources include the WIPO Statistics Database and statistics within the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), Madrid System for International Trademark and Hague System for the International Registration of Industrial Designs. Some international organizations such as World Bank, UNESCO Institute for Statistics, OECD are also in a position to be a source of information for WIPO. As a rule, WIPO includes last year data in report for current year due to the time needed for collecting statistical information on a national level. There are four main indicators of national IP activities in WIPO report:
WIPO makes its calculations in both absolute (total number of patent applications, utility models, ect.) and relative figures (e.g. per 1 billion GDP, per 1 billion R&D expenditure).
