Overview
Hungary's patent applications stood at 433 in 2021, a rise of +5 from 2020. Hungary ranked 41st globally.
Hungary's patent application rate has exhibited significant fluctuations over the past four decades, with the all-time peak of 3,262.00 in 1988 and the all-time trough of 407.00 in 2018. Although the country rebounded in 2021, reaching 433.00 patent applications, this value ranks 41st globally, trailing behind peer countries such as Czechia with 541.00 applications. This ranking is also lower than that of Colombia, which had 432.00 patent applications in the same year. Hungary's patent application rate has been on an upward trend since 2018, with a steady increase in 2021. This improvement may be attributed to the country's efforts to strengthen its intellectual property rights and encourage innovation. However, a sustained increase in patent applications will likely require continued investment in research and development, as well as a more favorable business environment to attract and retain talent.
