Some observations:

· For patents (invention patent, utility model, and design), ONLY grant numbers are reported. This is the CNIPA's mode of reporting since the end of 2021. May try to avoid showing significant drop of application numbers after the CNIPA announcement of stopping patent subsidies, and cracking down of abnormal application.

· Comparing with 2022 March grant numbers:
1. Invention patent has slightly increased by 2200 (+1.39%)
2. Utility model has significantly decreased by about 167000 (-21.74%)
3. Design has slightly increased by 12,500 (+7.35%)
4. Trademark registrations has decreased by about 114000 (-52.73%)
