The international balance of power in innovation is shifting. When it comes to world-class patents in important cutting-edge technologies, the United States still occupies the leading position in almost every field. But China is catching up fast or has already overtaken the United States in some areas thanks to its much greater dynamic. This is the central finding of our new study on the development of national and regional portfolios of patents in cutting-edge technologies since 2000.<\/p>\n

Innovation is the fundament of social progress and international competitiveness. This is particularly true for new developments in important cutting-edge technologies such as 3D printing, 5G, or energy conversion. Our new study “World class patents in cutting-edge technologies – The innovation power of East Asia, North America and Europe” takes a closer look at the most important patents in 58 of these technologies. Based on a new approach to patent assessment developed by Swiss Research Institute and Consultancy EconSight, it analyzes how the innovative power of major economies and world regions has shifted between 2000 and 2019. The results clearly show that East Asia is on the rise.<\/div>\n

The United States is still the undisputed “patent superpower” and will continue to hold this position in the medium term. In 50 of 58 cutting-edge technologies, the United States has the most world class patents; in the remaining eight it has the second most. In many technologies, it leads the field by a large margin, particularly in digital, health, and security technologies. A case in point is Big Data, where the United States holds about half the world-class patents. Canada’s excellent performance in digital technologies, particularly quantum computing, makes North America the strongest patent region in this realm.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
