EURASIAN PATENT EXAMINATION
The Eurasian Patent Office received 3,482 Eurasian applications in 2019, which is almost identical to the number of applications filed in 2018.
Eurasian Application Statistics
Since the year of the Eurasian Patent Organization’s establishment in 1996, through 2019 inclusive, overall 57,354 Eurasian applications were filed.
See Diagram 1 for detailed progress in the Eurasian applications filed in the last 6 years.

TOTAL APPLICATIONS
International applications accounted for the bulk of Eurasian applications in 2019 totalling to 2,581 applications, or 74.1 per cent of all the applications filed.
The year 2019 saw 464 applications filed directly with the Eurasian Patent Office, which accounts for 13.3 per cent of overall Eurasian application filings during the year. National IP offices of the Eurasian Patent Convention (EAPC) Contracting States channeled 437 applications in 2019, or 12.6 per cent of the total amount of Eurasian applications filed.

TOTAL APPLICATIONS
Similarly to the preceding years, the United States of America proved the largest geographical source of Eurasian applications, 913 or 26.2 per cent of all the applications filed with the Eurasian Patent Office.
Applicants from the EAPC Contracting States filed 724 applications in 2019. The largest number of Eurasian applications, which amounts to 427, came from the Russian Federation, the Republic of Belarus accounts for 111 applications, the Republic of Kazakhstan – for 107 applications and the Republic of Azerbaijan – for 53 applications.

TOTAL APPLICATIONS
The distribution pattern for Eurasian applications by industry did not change significantly in 2019. Similar to the previous years, the bulk of applications were filed for inventions in the fields of organic chemistry, pharmaceuticals and medicines. Table 1 breaks down the Eurasian applications filed in 2019 by subject matter.
The year 2019 saw 2,885 applications filed electronically, which makes 83 per cent of all the Eurasian applications filed in 2019.
