WIPO Global Ranking – 2015 Edition

[TaiShang]

China's leap from 9th place to 6th in a year is impressive.

Japan's decline continues. Probably China will settle for the second spot if Japan keeps on declining at this rate by 2020.

But respect to Japan, they maintained superiority for over three decades in patent and innovation. A truly East Asian miracle. We may be following our neighbor's footsteps.

Korea appears to be a tough nut to crack, though.

Singapore and taiwan (these countries has not been included in this study) also has such very high patent per captia, little countries can easily rocketing the ladder, means nothing.
