Armenia: Industrial design applications, resident, by count

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2024, Armenia's industrial design applications, resident, by count fell 43.8% on 2023 (from 80 to 45).

Across the 17 yearly changes before that (2005 to 2023), the average change was +25.9% and a typical year strayed about 67.7% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.0 standard deviations below that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 160% in 2021 and the biggest yearly fall was 66.7% in 2005. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about 5.16 a year. A straight line explains 32% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures

Industrial design applications are applications to register an industrial design with a national or regional Intellectual Property (IP) offices and designations received by relevant offices through the Hague System. A resident application refers to an application filed with the IP office of, or acting for, the state or jurisdiction in which the first named applicant in the application is resident. Design count is used to render application data for industrial applications across offices comparable, as some offices follow a single-class/single-design filing system while others have a multiple class/design filing system.

Limitations: Data are based on information supplied to World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) by IP offices in annual surveys, supplemented by data in national IP office reports. Data may be missing for some offices or periods.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a sum.
