In a previous post I commented on the high number of patent grants at the EPO during the first 6 months of 2016.
Patent grant numbers at the EPO continue to rise, with over 9,800 granted in August alone.
On the current basis my best guess for grants during 2016 would be around 93k ± 5k.
Total filings to end September, over 70,000. Still on track for 93k central prediction.
