Kazakhstan: Industrial design applications, resident, by count

Key figures

Since 1993 it is up 673.08% from 52 in 1993 (6.82% a year on average, compounded). The World Bank has no value for 5 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.

What the numbers say

In 2024, Kazakhstan's industrial design applications, resident, by count rose 226.8% on 2023 (from 123 to 402).

Across the 23 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +12.3% and a typical year strayed about 51.1% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 4.2 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 226.8% in 2024 and the biggest yearly fall was 73.2% in 1995. 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 18.92 a year. A straight line explains 37% of the movement over 8 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.
