疫情下專利申請在台灣：TSMC、ITRI、NCKU 持續領航

2020年台灣智慧財產局 (TIPO) 受理的專利申請案，較 2019年減少 3%，主要歸因於外國人申請減少逾 2000件，公告發證情況亦然。但國內發明專利申請案有小幅成長，來到 2014年以來最高水平，我國中小企業申請量年增 17% 、大專院校年成長16％尤為可觀。

Taiwan saw a slight (3%) reduction in patent applications in 2020. That was mainly caused by a significant decrease of non-residents’ applications, 2000 plus cases less than the previous year. Applications filed by residents also dropped by 1%; but the case number for inventions still grew to the highest level since 2014. Among local applicants, SMEs and universities made an impressive 17% and 16% annual growth in patent filings.
