The total number of new patent, design, and trademark applications, as well as the other types of intellectual property cases that were handled by our firm in 2021 is expected to be approximately 2,330. In spite of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic over the past two years, our forecasted growth for 2021 is 6.30%. While our business has continued to steadily grow in the electric/mechanical patent fields, we also saw rapid growth in the life-science and chemical patent fields in 2021.
