We publish the statistics for the previous year on these pages. You can consult Swissreg at any time to find up-to-date information on recently filed or registered IP rights, and see whether they are active or cancelled. Statistics relating to the business year are also available in our annual reports.

Wherever IP rights are involved, disputes can also arise – and they can sometimes even end up in court. Our statistics show in which cantons the Swiss courts have made the most judicial rulings.
