The 10 Most Popular Countries

September 9, 2009


Where are you filing? We analyzed all PCT applications coordinated by us over the past 12 months to see which countries were most popular. Here's what we found.

The ten most popular countries, listed by the % of times they were chosen:

1. Europe (55%)   6. India (33%)
2. Canada (41%)   7. Australia (32%)
3. Japan (41%)   8. Brazil (19%)
4. China (40%)   9. Korea (19%)
5. USA (36%)   10. Mexico (18%)


On average, most people filed in 5 countries, but our largest filing was in a massive 19 countries. Will that record be beaten this year?
