Of the economies in the World Bank's latest release, China has the highest industrial design applications, resident, by count (803,234 in 2024) and Honduras the lowest (1 in 2022). The world figure is 1.25 million (2024).
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.
Each country's latest available year is shown; countries report on different schedules, so compare years before comparing values.
