Applications sorted according to jurisdiction: As shown in the chart (above) itself, this is a histogram of the total number of application examined in each jurisdiction during the month of May 2025. A total of 1276 application data was obtained from the IP India website. Thereafter, duplicates were discarded and data analysed.

The above pie chart shows the types of applications that were considered. The position was very similar last month.
The above chart shows the year in which the applications that were taken up in May 2025 for examination / controller decision, were filed. Majority of the filing is of 2021. However, there are cases pending from 2006 onwards.
The above chart shows the distribution of type of application across jurisdiction.
The above image shows the distribution of sections under which the application was considered or a section / rule applied to the application when being examined. To create this chart, I did some level of manual cleaning / sorting of data. Unlike last time, wherever 15, 43, or any combination thereof was there, was marked as pending. This does not mean that the application is pending, but only the word pending was used for classification. Hence the chart above shows that all applications are pending.
The real value of the above chart is the other data of Grant / refusal / number of pre-grant or post grant oppositions filed; decisions where review of controller’s decision was issued, etc.
