The Australian Patent Applications Scoreboard is a comprehensive collection of data about the number of patent applications made in Australia each year. It is a useful reference across a number of disciplines and industries.

As it contains a large amount of information about patent applications in an easily accessible form, the Scoreboard is a useful tool for enterprises that facilitate the commercialisation of research projects. For example, it allows users to see at a glance the areas of technology where patent activity is highest in 2003, and activity going back 10 years.

Other information contained in the Scoreboard includes tables showing:
• the number of patent applications filed in Australia each year;
• a breakdown of the technology areas in which applications are filed;
• the number of patent applications filed by individual patent attorney firms; and
• which patent attorney firms file the most patent applications in the various technology areas.

This is the first time the report has been published. IPRIA intends to release an updated version annually.
