What the Data Shows
Russia’s intellectual-property office had 243,943 patents in force at the end of 2024. The WIPO measure is an office-based stock of active patent rights rather than annual applications or grants. Russia ranks eleventh in the 15-office published comparison, while China records 5,688,867 patents in force. The Chinese office total is 23.3 times Russia’s, and office-based counts do not identify the nationality of every patent owner.

Data notes & caveats
This is an active patent stock recorded by the office. It should not be read as resident-owned patents, annual patent applications or annual grants.
Methodology
The Russia office value is retained from WIPO World Intellectual Property Indicators 2025 for year-end 2024. Comparison metrics use the same office-based measure and year.
Source consistency notes
The focal value uses one World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) source, one period and one measurement basis.
