Current Status of Patents in Egypt
Egyptian Patent Office
issued a total of 465
patents during the year

Around 82%of
these issued patents—379

foreigners, and the rest
18%was for
Egyptians (86 patents).

10. Accordingly, Higher Education Institutes (e.g. Universities) have to
consider these lacunae, and they should work on reducing this obvious
