The highest patents in the technological sector
As the international balance of power shifts in innovation. The USA holds the most patents in world standards in 50 of the 58 technologies of the future.
China, on the other hand, is quickly catching up with the economic model and dynamics it has developed, leaving the USA behind in some areas.
The results of the “World-Class Patents in Advanced Technologies-East Asia, North America and Europe’s Innovation Power” research. Which analyzes how the innovation power has changed in the 2000-2019 period, has been published by the Bertelsmann Foundation headquartered in Germany.
According to the research, East Asia continues to rise in new technologies. Such as 3D printing, 5G, smart intelligence, food, and energy transformation.
The United States remains unquestionably the “patent superpower” and will maintain this position in the medium term. In 50 of the latest 58 technologies, the US is the country with the most patents at world standards, while it ranks second in the remaining 8 technologies.
USA; It leads the way in digital, health, and safety technologies with a big margin. The country, which is the center of big companies. As Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, and Google hold about half of the worldwide patents in big data.

France is the country with the second highest patent in aviation and space technology, and the UK in smart pharmaceutical invention.
“Combine innovation and social progress” advice
The report recommends that Europe “develop international cooperation, put forward a more ambitious European digital strategy, better commercialize ideas and research, develop faster, successful product development and companies such as the USA and China, combine innovation and social progress”, the report recommends. was found.
