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.

A short summary of the study "World class patents in cutting-edge technologies - The innovation power of East Asia, North America and Europe" is shown. It compares which countries have particularly important patents in 58 future technologies.
