The World IP Organization (WIPO) has released World Intellectual Property Report (2024) on making innovation policy work for development. The report made analysis of nearly 40 million patent filings, over 70 million scientific papers and economic activity worth more than 300 trillion dollars in goods and services exports, reveals that innovative outcomes are highly concentrated.
Over the past 20 years, for example, the top eight countries account for 50% of exports, 60% of scientific publications and 80% of international patenting. But change is occurring: China, India and the Republic of Korea saw big increases in their technological diversification over the period. China jumped from being specialized in only 16% to 94% of all technological capabilities, the Republic of Korea's technological capabilities went from 40% to 83%, and India saw its technological capabilities double from 9% to 21%.
