In 25 years, the number of patents filed worldwide has more than tripled, from 1 million to over 3.5 million applications!
Asia now dominates this landscape, with China, South Korea, Japan and India as the main contributors. Together, these countries file two-thirds of the world's patents.
The reasons for this explosion?
- Rapid technological innovation, particularly in Asia.
- Strategic importance of intellectual property in a competitive market.
No matter the size of your company, intellectual property is a powerful opportunity to showcase your innovations and strengthen your competitive edge.
