PROGRAM 16 ECONOMICS AND STATISTICS
Program Manager Director General
OVERVIEW OF PROGRESS IN 2014
-
The statistical work fully achieved its objective in promoting the availability of accurate, comprehensive, and timely statistical information on the performance of the IP system worldwide. As in previous years, the Program conducted a statistical survey of national and regional IP offices. Responses covered more than 90 countries, including the largest IP-using jurisdictions. For many IP Offices from small and less developed economies, resource limitations continued to pose an obstacle towards responding to the statistics survey. However, through outreach programs and targeted assistance, the Program has been able to gradually improve coverage over the years.
-
The Program also fulfilled its statistical reporting function, notably through the timely release of the World IP Indicators, the WIPO IP Facts and Figures report, the Yearly Reviews for the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), Madrid, and Hague Systems, as well as through the IP Statistics Data Center and IP statistical country profiles available on WIPO’s statistics webpage. One major achievement in 2014 was the upgrade of the functionality of the Data Center, including the development of user interfaces in French and Spanish. Another achievement was the re-design of the World Intellectual Property Indicators (WIPI) report, with a view to making it easier for readers to find the desired information. Overall, the Program’s statistical offerings served the data and statistical analysis needs of a wide range of users – from specialists in IP Offices and academia to more general users outside of the IP community.
-
The Program’s economic analysis work also made good progress on the promotion of high quality empirical analysis in support of evidence-based policymaking. As in previous years, WIPO co-published the Global Innovation Index (GII), in partnership with INSEAD and Cornell University. The 2014 GII covered 143 economies and was launched in Sydney, Australia at a gathering of international business leaders known as the B20. It was subsequently presented at national and international conferences across the world. The publication of the GII also continued to attract significant media attention. In addition, national governments, international organizations and other stakeholders in the innovation system regularly employed the GII as a reference source for analyzing innovation performance, as captured by numerous citations, data inquiries, and requests for advisory services.
-
Notable achievements were made on other fronts as well. Good progress was made towards the development of a new World IP Report, which will be published in the second half of 2015. The Program also directly supported the work of WIPO committees – notably through a study on PCT fee elasticity for the PCT Working Group and a seminar on exceptions and limitations to patent rights during the SCP. In addition, assisting WIPO Member States with country studies continued to be an important pillar of the Program’s economic analysis work and took place under the umbrella of the DA project on IP and Socio-Economic Development. In 2014, the first phase of this project (CDIP/5/7) came to an end and underwent an external evaluation (CDIP/14/3), which was presented at the fourteenth session of the CDIP. WIPO Member States approved a second phase of the project (CDIP/14/7), which will be implemented in 2015 through 2017. The studies under the DA project continued to respond to relevant DA Recommendations, in particular Recommendations 35 and 37.
-
Finally, the Program continued to coordinate a network of IP office economists – open to all IP Offices with an economic research capacity – to help foster and facilitate empirical and scientifically rigorous economic research on IP.

RESOURCE UTILIZATION
Budget and Actual Expenditure (by result)
(in thousands of Swiss francs)
Budget and Actual Expenditure (personnel and non-personnel)
(in thousands of Swiss francs)
NOTE: The 2014/15 Budget after Transfers reflects transfers as of March 31, 2015 to address needs during the 2014/15 biennium in line with Financial Regulation 5.5.
A. Budget after Transfers 2014/15
-
The overall net decrease in non-personnel resources is primarily due to: (i) the adjustment in the allocation for the DA Project on IP and Socio-Economic Development following the approval of the second phase of the project at the fourteenth session of the CDIP (CDIP/14/7); and (ii) the transfer of non-personnel resources for an intern to support the work of the Program.
B. Budget utilization 2014
-
Budget utilization is within the expected range of 40-60 per cent for the first year of the biennium and is on track.
