Annual Reports
PRH Annual Report 2021
The year 2021 was characterised by the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and the measures introduced to contain it.
As
a whole, Finland managed the exceptional situation quite well, which
was also reflected in the activities of the PRH. Our financial
performance was good.
Finnish
companies give a high priority to the protection of their industrial
property rights, which was reflected in the number of patent and
trademark applications.
There was further increase in the number of notifications to the Trade Register.
Work on
digitalisation continued. We promoted system development projects and built new online services for our customers.
We launched the Real-Time Economy project in cooperation with
the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment, Finnish Tax
Administration and the State Treasury. The project is based on the
Programme of the Finnish Government.
Despite
the challenges posed by the COVID-19 epidemic, customer satisfaction
remained at a very high level.
Most
of our staff members continued to work on a remote basis. Despite the
situation, there was further improvement in job satisfaction and it
reached an all-time high.
