Thomson Reuters Analysis of 2008 World Patent Activity
Finds U.S. Market Infused with Asian Innovations

Philadelphia, PA, USA — March 24, 2009 — The IP Solutions business of Thomson Reuters released the results of its 2008 Global Innovation Study today, analyzing the leading innovators by key region over the last year. The study, which tracked the top ten innovators in China, Europe, Japan, Korea and the U.S. on the basis of total number of unique inventions issued in granted patents and published patent applications, found that 70 percent of top ten innovators in the U.S. were non-U.S. companies. In contrast, home region innovators dominate the Asian and European top ten lists

Among the top innovators in the U.S. were — in order — Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. (Korea); International Business Machines Corp. (U.S.); Microsoft (U.S.); Toshiba (Japan); Canon (Japan); Fujitsu Ltd. (Japan); Sony Corp. (Japan); General Electric Co. (U.S.); Seiko Epson Corp. (Japan); and Hon Hai Precision Ind. Co. Ltd. (Taiwan). Among the Asian firms who have developed a large innovation footprint in the U.S., Samsung, Toshiba, Canon, Sony Corp. and Seiko Epson also rank among the top ten innovators in their home regions. The American companies among the U.S. top ten do not rank in the top ten of any other regions in this study.

In Europe, just one of the top ten innovators was from outside Europe: Samsung Electronics Co. LTD (Korea), which was the third most innovative company there last year. The remaining nine of the top ten are all European businesses. No European companies were in the top ten in the U.S. or Asia.

All the Asian regions studied show that Asian companies see the importance of their native markets in terms of innovation reinvestment. The top ten innovators in Japan, China and Korea are Japanese, Chinese and Korean organizations, respectively.

The following charts show the breakout of the top ten innovators in each region. The data was compiled using the Derwent World Patents Index (DWPI) database.

To the jaded, jealous, ignorant loser:

Your twisted views are subjective and your silly reply answers nothing. If I build a rocket I MUST incorporate elements the Chinese did 800 years ago but if I write a song I DON'T have to incorporate parts of other songs.

Again, why is the 1812 Overture a brilliant piece of music as opposed to imitation given that it incorporates so much that Tchaikovsky didn't write?

Quote from MRBRETTONWOODS:

Art and music are subjective and have been since pre-history.
