IP attorneys of KIAP have studied the quantitative indices of the inventive activity in Russia for the last few years: quantity of Russian and foreign patents, quantity of patents in force and lapsed patents, ratio of lapsed patents to valid patents arranged by Russian and foreign applicants, foreign applicants’ activity by countries. The results show that a third of patents are owned by foreign applicants and their share is gradually increasing. The most active applicants are from the USA, Germany, Japan and France.
