Overview
Syrian Arab Republic's patent applications stood at 102 in 2021, a rise of +26 from 2020. Syrian Arab Republic ranked 63rd globally.
Syrian Arab Republic’s patent applications rose from a low of 4.00 in 1982, the all‑time trough, to a modest peak of 247.00 in 2000, before falling to 102.00 in 2021, placing the country 63rd globally and slightly below peer Latvia’s 104.00 applications. The 24‑year coverage shows a volatile trajectory, with the early 2000s representing a brief surge likely linked to limited reforms in research and development policy, while the subsequent decline reflects the protracted conflict and deteriorating institutional capacity that constrained innovation output. Compared with Peru’s 94.00 applications, Syria’s recent figure remains marginally higher, yet both lag behind regional innovators. The steep drop from the 2000 peak suggests that without substantial investment in scientific infrastructure, protection of intellectual property rights, and stability, the upward momentum is unlikely to resume; any sustained improvement will depend on restoring peace and rebuilding the domestic research ecosystem.
