Forecasting Patent Applications and Renewals
This project develops improved methods for forecasting initial patent applications to IP Australia, patent renewals, and the linkages between them. In addition, existing forecasting models for trademark applications will be supplemented with explicit modelling of seasonality and other monthly factors. Finally, estimates of the price elasticity of demand for trademark applications will be produced.
For further information on these forecasts or the data sets used please contact Dr Michael Chua.
