China Files More Patents Than Any Other Country

China Files More Patents Than Any Other Country

China has become the first country worldwide to file more than a million patent applications in a single year, the UN World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) announced.
The Asian giant registered 1.1 million patents in 2015, more than the top three runners-up combined. The US finished in second place with 578,000 applications, followed by Japan (325,000) and South Korea (214,000).
“Once again, we see an increasing dominance almost by Asia as the origin of filing activity for intellectual property,” WIPO Director General Francis Gurry said in a statement. “If you look at the figures, you see 62 percent of global filing activity for patents is located in Asia.”
The bulk of China’s applications in 2015 were for domestic protection in patents, trademarks and industrial designs, with only about 42,000 filed abroad. Gurry said China was in process “of making innovation a central point of their economic strategy.”

Commentary: Communist China reminds us of the old saying, “The Yellow Peril.” What makes China successful? Experts point to a disciplined work force willing to work extra time and accept punishment if meted out by the boss. That indeed may be a contributing factor. However, when compared to the super-rich nations, with their very expensive and spoiled workforce, then one just wonders: how can they successfully challenge communist China? But they do. So, what is the real reason for communist China’s success? We reiterate: it is the god of this world who rules the nations and attempts to create a global unity; thus, we see the Southeast Asian nations arise, and the Western nations grow somewhat stunned. Southeast China in particular, is becoming the powerhouse challenging the US and Europe.
