Very interesting article on patent filing trends including listed vs non-listed firms. Patentology is a great resource on what is happening in the Australian patent attorney world.
If you read the QIP AGM report (being the only other listed entity) QIP's filings are up this quarter which means that IPH filings must be well down for the first quarter.
IPH's half year revenue result may rely heavily on Asia as the Australia patent market (which makes up the vast majority of the revenue in Australia and New Zealand businesses) has to be off by a considerable margin.
It is interesting to note that IPH did not mention revenue in their AGM only filings (down 8.1%) and EBITDA (slight up). For my mind, this indicates that growth is an issue which is represented in the Patentology report.
