Despite the full-scale war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, there are successes in the field of intellectual property: the number of applications for industrial property rights in the first quarter of 2024 increased by almost 30% compared to the same period in 2023. At the same time, the number of trademark applications filed (6,524) exceeded not only last year’s figure but also that of 2020.
In general, comparing the same periods in 2023 and 2024, it can be stated that the filing rates for utility model applications (39.9%) and trademark applications (33.9%) have increased significantly, but the number of industrial design applications remained almost unchanged, and the number of inventions slightly decreased (7.9%).
