Eurasian Patent System shows steady growth in 2025

In 2025, the Eurasian patent system demonstrated steady growth in applicant activity. The number of applications for Eurasian patents increased by 12% compared to 2024, reaching 3,638 applications, with a growing share filed by applicants from the member states of the Eurasian Patent Organization (EAPO). The EAPO currently comprises eight member states: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan.

The number of valid Eurasian patents increased by 5%, with an average of 83% of patents maintained in force. The highest growth in patent maintenance activity was observed among right holders from China, Russia, and the United States.

Since the beginning of 2025, the effect of Eurasian industrial design patents has been extended to Turkmenistan, expanding user opportunities and further integrating the EAPO system into international industrial design protection mechanisms.

In 2025, the Eurasian Patent Office continued to develop digital services and improve the quality of its services. The average time to first action has been reduced to two months. The EAPO-ONLINE system was upgraded, and the new EAPO-Pub publication system was introduced, while AI-based solutions continue to be developed to support examination and applicant interaction.

The number of reports prepared by the Eurasian Patent Office as an International Searching Authority (ISA) under the PCT system increased significantly by more than 50%. Applicants from six EAPO member states are already using this functionality.

The Eurasian Pharmaceutical Register also continued to expand, increasing by 16% with new Eurasian and national patents. Mechanisms for automated data exchange with interested organizations have been introduced.

The Eurasian Patent Office continues to develop international cooperation and digital transformation, with a special focus on artificial intelligence, pharmaceuticals, and the development of the intellectual property system.
