The World Patent Ranking

The World Patent Ranking is a comparative analysis of statistical data on patent activity of countries and territories of the world, which is issued by the World Intellectual Property Organization. Patent statistics is the main indicator of innovation potential and one of the key indicators of technological development of countries and regions. A comparative analysis of patent activity statistics of countries and territories of the world is issued by the World Intellectual Property Organization, a specialized agency of the United Nations on intellectual property. The study is conducted annually and uses data from international, national and regional intellectual property offices. Reports on patenting activity of states are usually delayed by one year, as they require international comparison after the publication of data by national patent offices. A list of countries by number of patents granted is shown below.

As the statistics show, the countries that have issued the most patents for inventions are China, the United States and Japan. That is where the most new technologies and things are exported from to all the other countries. The latest version of the ranking of countries by number of patents obtained came out in 2020.
