Overview
Serbia's patent applications stood at 138 in 2021, a rise of +0 from 2020. Serbia ranked 58th globally.
Serbia's patent application activity has experienced a significant decline since its peak in 2004, when it reached 473.00 applications. This represents a stark reversal from its current standing, where the country ranks #58 globally with 138.00 patent applications in 2021. Notably, Serbia's patent activity trajectory is comparable to that of the Slovak Republic, which also experienced a decline from its peak in the early 2000s but has maintained a relatively stable ranking. The stark contrast between Serbia's peak and trough years underscores the country's challenges in fostering innovation and intellectual property protection. The 2021 figure represents a 70.9% decline from the country's 2004 peak, signaling a pressing need for Serbia to reinvigorate its innovation ecosystem. A sustained investment in research and development, coupled with targeted policies to encourage entrepreneurship and protect intellectual property, would be crucial in altering this trajectory and potentially reversing Serbia's decline in patent applications.
