Inventions

Table 1 shows the data for 2010-2011 for the filing of applications and grant of Russian Federation (RF) patents for inventions.

The patents for inventions granted in 2011 were distributed according to the Sections of the International Patent Classification (IPC) as follows: see Table 2.
In 2011, the trends in distribution by IPC Section changed slightly compared to 2010. The largest number of patents for inventions granted to Russian applicants in 2011, as in previous years, was for Section A of IPC – Human Necessities. The largest number of patents granted to foreign applicants in 2010 was, however, for Section B – Performing Operations and Transporting – whereas in 2011 it was for Section C – Chemistry and Metallurgy.

The least popular Section among Russian and foreign applicants alike remains Section D – Textiles and Paper. The number of patents granted for this Section in 2011 comprised only 1.003 per cent of the overall number of patents granted for inventions.

Utility Models

See Table 3

In 2011 the positive trend in applications received for utility models continued and the number of patents granted rose by 4.71 per cent.

Data on the distribution of patents for utility models by IPC Section are shown in Table 4.

The leading IPC Section in 2011 remained Section B – Performing Operations and Transporting – while second place was taken by Section G – Physics. Section D – Textiles and Paper – continued to be the least in demand, with the lowest number of patents granted, along with Section C – Chemistry and Metallurgy.
