WIPO发布2020《世界知识产权指标报告》

Trademark and industrial design filing activity increased by 5.9% and 1.3% respectively. A 3% decline in global patent applications, the first fall in a decade, was driven by a drop in filings by Chinese residents. Excluding China, global patent filings rose 2.3%.

商标申请量增长了5.9％，工业外观设计申请量增长了1.3％，而专利申请量下降了3％，专利申请量十年来首次下降的原因主要是中国的申请量下降。若不将中国的数据统计在内，全球专利申请量增长2.3％。

  The annual WIPI report collects and analyzes IP data from some 150 national and regional offices to inform policy makers, business leaders, investors, academics and others seeking macro trends in innovation and creativity. 

世界知识产权组织指标报告收集并分析了来自约150个国家和地区办事处的知识产权数据，为各决策者、商业领袖、投资者、学者以及其他寻求创造创新宏观趋势的人士提供参考。

  The WIPI's 2019 figures, which pre-date the COVID-19 pandemic, underline the long-building growth in demand for the intellectual property tools that incentivize an increasingly global and digital-focused economy, said WIPO Director General Daren Tang.

据世界知识产权组织总干事Daren Tang所言，在新冠疫情流行之前的2019年的世界知识产权指标数据，突显了世界对知识产权工具需求的不断增长，这刺激了日益全球化和以数字为重点的经济。

  "The robust use of intellectual property tools shows high levels of innovation and creativity at the end of 2019, just at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic," said Mr. Tang. "The pandemic has accelerated long-building trends by fostering the adoption of new technologies and accelerating the digitization of everyday life. Because IP is so connected to technology, innovation and digitalization, IP will become even more important to a greater number of countries in the post-COVID world." 

唐先生说：“到2019年底，就在新冠疫情流行开始之际，知识产权工具的大量使用显示出人们很高的创新和创造力。” “疫情大流行通过促进采用新技术和加速日常生活数字化的方式加速了长期发展的趋势。由于知识产权与技术，创新以及数字化联系紧密，因此知识产权对经历过新冠后的许多国家将变得更加重要。”
