Thanks for the compliment! However as I mentioned in the other thread, China is still behind Korea and Japan in (1) patent per capita, and (2) number of top applicants.

We might be able to have more companies in Global Top 100, however it will be mission impossible to match per capita patent.
China Surpasses Japan as Asia's Top High-Tech Exporter, ADB Says
China has brought to an end Japan’s dominance of Asia’s high-technology exports, according to the Asian Development Bank.
- China accounts for 43.7% of Asia's exports of high-tech goods
- China also leads in exports of low-tech goods with 55.4% share
China’s share of Asia’s exports of high-tech goods such as medical instruments, and aircraft and telecommunications equipment rose to 43.7 percent in 2014 from 9.4 percent in 2000, the ADB said. Japan’s share slid to 7.7 percent last year from 25.5 percent in 2000. Southeast Asian nations including Malaysia and Philippines also lost market share.
The shift marks China’s success in boosting innovation and technology as key drivers of its economy as it seeks to move up the manufacturing value chain. Low-tech goods accounted for 28 percent of China’s exports in 2014, compared with 41 percent in 2000, according to ADB’s Asian Economic Integration Report 2015 released Tuesday.
"China has made inroads in taking more and more hi-tech manufacturing onshore even as a lot of critical components are still imported from other countries," said Frederic Neumann, co-head of Asian economic research at HSBC Holdings Plc in Hong Kong. "It’s becoming highly competitive, with highly skilled labor and we’re seeing increasing research and development moving into China."
China-Made Drones
China-made drones, smart phones, and even high-speed trains have become internationally competitive and the number of enterprises in the high-tech manufacturing sector has tripled to almost 30,000 from less than 10,000 in 2000, Shang-Jin Wei, ADB chief economist, said in an e-mail.
“We are seeing some signs of success in some industries,” he said. “But China is still not a global technology leader like the United States or Germany. What we are seeing is that China is catching up very fast on the ’standard technology’ products and is beginning to do some innovations of its own.”
China also leads in exports of low-tech goods such as textiles, food and beverages, and wood, pulp and paper products. It had a 55.4 percent market share in 2014, followed by India with 9.4 percent.
Cross-border production networks -- trade in parts and components and final assembly -- have strengthened regional interdependence, as seen from increasing intraregional trade shares, the ADB said. Asia’s intraregional gross exports have increased about 3.6 times from 2000 to 2011, it said.
Economic Zones
Special economic zones can be a driving force for increased trade, investment, and economic reform in Asia at a time when the region is experiencing a slowdown in trade, provided the right business environments and policies are put in place, the ADB said. In developing Asia, countries with economic zones attract significantly more foreign direct investment, corresponding to 82 percent greater FDI levels, it said.
Separately, while the impending increase in U.S. interest rates could raise capital flow volatility, it is not expected to rattle the region’s markets as it did in 2013, the report said. Still, managing potentially volatile capital outflows remains an important issue for the region -- especially given rising risk premiums and depreciating currencies, it said.

Thanks again bro! Yes as per WIPO report China is already way ahead of any other country in patent filings, constitutes 31% of world total in 2014. Same in industrial design filings, constitutes 49% of world total in 2014. But we are indeed behind on per capita behind Korea/Japan which tops the world in this regard. Also most large applicants are Japanese companies, we are behind in this as well.
Well China only pick up in recent decade or two, let's see historical data. WIPO tracks data as early as 1883, see followings:
Patent filings since 1883
From 1883 to 1963, the USPTO was the leading office in world filings. Application numbers at the JPO and the USPTO were stable until the early 1970s, when the JPO began to see rapid growth, a pattern also observed for the USPTO from the 1980s onwards.
Among the top five offices, the JPO surpassed the USPTO in 1968 and maintained the top position until 2005. Since 2006, the number of applications at the JPO has trended downward. Both the EPO and KIPO have seen increases each year since the early 1980s, as has SIPO since 2001. SIPO surpassed the EPO and KIPO in 2005, the JPO in 2010 and the USPTO in 2011 – and it now receives the largest number of applications worldwide.
There has been a gradual upward trend in the combined share of the top five offices in the world total – from 70% in 2000 to 82% in 2014.
Industrial design filings since 1883
Between 1883 and the early 1950s, the Japan Patent Office (JPO) and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) averaged similar numbers of applications, rarely exceeding 10,000. The JPO received the largest number of applications from the 1950s to the late 1990s, reaching about 50,000 annual filings at its peak.
SIPO began receiving applications in 1985 and saw unprecedented growth, from 640 in 1985 to 660,000 in 2013.
In 2004, KIPO surpassed the JPO and has remained the second-largest office.
In 2012, the USPTO moved ahead of the JPO to become the third largest.
OHIM began receiving applications in 2003 and has remained the fifth largest.
** Note in the above chart, Y-scale is truncated because of explosive growth of China, far exceeding the other countries.
