1981 - 2021 | Yearly | Number | Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development

CN: Number of Patent Applications Filed under The PCT: Biotechnology Sector: Priority Year data was reported at 3,384.933 Number in 2022. This records an increase from the previous number of 3,197.309 Number for 2021. CN: Number of Patent Applications Filed under The PCT: Biotechnology Sector: Priority Year data is updated yearly, averaging 127.636 Number from Dec 1981 (Median) to 2022, with 42 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 3,384.933 Number in 2022 and a record low of 0.000 Number in 1987. CN: Number of Patent Applications Filed under The PCT: Biotechnology Sector: Priority Year data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The data is categorized under Global Database’s China – Table CN.OECD.MSTI: Number of Patents Applications: Non OECD Member: Annual.

The national breakdown by source of funds does not fully match with the classification defined in the Frascati Manual. The R&D financed by the government, business enterprises, and by the rest of the world can be retrieved but part of the expenditure has no specific source of financing, i.e. self-raised funding (in particular for independent research institutions), the funds from the higher education sector and left-over government grants from previous years.

The government and higher education sectors cover all fields of NSE and SSH while the business enterprise sector only covers the fields of NSE. There are only few organisations in the private non-profit sector, hence no R&D survey has been carried out in this sector and the data are not available.

From 2009, researcher data are collected according to the Frascati Manual definition of researcher. Beforehand, this was only the case for independent research institutions, while for the other sectors data were collected according to the UNESCO concept of “scientist and engineer”.

In 2009, the survey coverage in the business and the government sectors has been expanded.

Before 2000, all of the personnel data and 95% of the expenditure data in the business enterprise sector are for large and medium-sized enterprises only. Since 2000 however, the survey covers almost all industries and all enterprises above a certain threshold. In 2000 and 2004, a census of all enterprises was held, while in the intermediate years data for small enterprises are estimated.

Due to the reform of the S&T system some government institutions have become enterprises, and their R&D data have been reflected in the Business Enterprise sector since 2000.
