Eurasian Patent Office reports strong growth in first half of 2025, cementing its position as a leading regional IP hub

The Eurasian Patent Office (EAPO) has demonstrated remarkable progress in the first six months of 2025, with a 20% increase in patent applications and a 13% rise in industrial design applications compared to the same period last year. According to the Eurasian Patent Office, patent grants have also surged, showing 10% growth for inventions and an impressive 50% jump for industrial designs, underscoring EAPO’s accelerating momentum as a preferred destination for IP protection.

One of EAPO’s advantages is its fast examination process, with first office actions issued in just 1.25 months on average – one of the fastest timelines among international patent systems. This efficiency gives Applicants a crucial competitive edge in securing protection for their innovations.

Key benefits of the Eurasian Patent System:

• Single patent valid in 8 countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan;
• Industry-leading examination speed with first actions in 1.25 months; and
• Growing international engagement: Chinese patent holders increased patent maintenance by 22%.

A significant development is the launch of the Common Eurasian Industrial Property Register, a unified digital platform providing streamlined access to IP rights information across all member states. This “single window” system enhances transparency and simplifies IP management for Applicants.

The pharmaceutical sector continues to drive growth, with 26 new patents added to the Eurasian Pharmaceutical Register. EAPO has also certified 12 new Eurasian patent attorneys from Armenia, Kazakhstan, and Russia, enhancing accessibility for right holders.

With a 3% increase in active patents and these robust growth indicators, the Eurasian patent system is proving its value as a cost-effective, efficient gateway to protection across multiple emerging markets. For businesses looking to secure and commercialize their IP across Eurasia’s dynamic economies, EAPO offers an increasingly compelling proposition that combines broad geographic coverage with exceptional speed and simplicity.

Eurasian patent protection is becoming an essential component of global IP strategy for forward-thinking companies.
