Overview
Uzbekistan's patent applications stood at 413 in 2021, a rise of +57 from 2020. Uzbekistan ranked 44th globally.
Uzbekistan’s patent‑application activity has declined sharply since the early 1990s, falling from an all‑time peak of 2,136.00 applications in 1993 to a trough of 238.00 in 2009, before recovering modestly to 413.00 in 2021, which placed the country 44th globally. The 2021 figure remains well below the early‑post‑Soviet surge, reflecting limited domestic R&D investment and a nascent innovation ecosystem. By comparison, peer economies such as Pakistan (426.00), Argentina (406.00) and Colombia (432.00) reported slightly higher application counts in the same year, suggesting that Uzbekistan lags its regional counterparts in converting scientific output into protectable inventions. The 29‑year coverage shows a persistent downward trend punctuated by a modest recent uptick, indicating that policy reforms aimed at strengthening intellectual‑property institutions and fostering university‑industry linkages could be decisive in accelerating future growth.
