Patent Trends Aggregates (CPC class x office x year, 2006-2026)
Aggregate tables built by Fliar BI from worldwide patent publications in the Google Patents Public Datasets (publications of the patent offices, 2006 to April 2026). They power the Patent Trends Explorer Space. Aggregates only: no inventor names and no individual (person) assignees; only organisations are listed.
Key facts (computed from these tables)
- 90,925,801 publications in 2006-2025 in the answering shards (6 of 7, see Coverage); yearly volume went from 2,420,022 in 2006 to 6,217,964 in 2025.
- China's office published 61% of all 2025 publications in this corpus.
- Most active organisations 2021-2025: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO LTD (175,272), HUAWEI TECH CO LTD (156,866), QUALCOMM INC (96,071), LG ELECTRONICS INC (73,682), CANON KK (64,798).
- Fastest-growing CPC classes 2020→2025 (min. 2,000 publications in 2020):
| CPC class | Title | 2020 | 2025 | CAGR |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Method
- A publication is one published document (an application and its later grant are two publications); counts are not patent families.
grantedcounts grant documents (kind codes B/C/U/S etc. as flagged in the source).grant_shareis a publication-level mix measure, not an approval rate.sum_citationssums the references each publication cites (backward citations), soavg_citations= references per publication.- CPC class = first four characters of the first-listed CPC code; publications without a CPC code (mostly designs and some offices) are excluded from class tables but counted in
by_year_office. - A publication with several assignees counts once for each organisation. Assignee names are the harmonised names in the source (upper case, abbreviated).
- Individuals removed: names without an organisation signal (legal form such as CO/LTD/INC/GMBH/KK, or words such as UNIV, INST, TECH, ELECTRIC) and with more than one word are treated as persons and dropped (75,972 names); this is conservative and also drops a few small organisations.
Coverage
- Database shards answering at build time: 6 of 7 (missing: 2 (192.168.50.6)); 92,593,512 of 108,034,545 publications (85.7%). Rows were spread round-robin across shards, so shares, rates and averages are unbiased, while absolute counts are about 86% of the true totals.
- CPC codes are the current classification of each publication, so a class created recently (for example H10B, H10K and H10N in 2023) includes older publications re-classified into it; growth rates of such classes also reflect the shift from the codes they replaced.
- Some offices are incomplete in the public source for 2025 (fewer than a quarter of their 2022-2024 average): BR, PH, RO, RU, UY. Treat their 2025 drop as a source gap, not a real decline.
- Full years 2006-2025; 2026 is partial (publications up to 2026-04-21). Patents publish about 18 months after filing, so publication years lag invention years.
