American patent applicants dominate when it comes to artificial intelligence (TO) the German innovation landscape. 36,2 Percent of last year from the German patent- and Trademark Office (DPMA) and patent applications published by the European Patent Office with effect for Germany came from the United States – only half as many (18,1 percent) came in from Germany. Japan follows in the country ranking (13,3 percent), China (5,2 percent), Korea (3,7 percent), Frankreich (3,3 percent the Netherlands (2,9 percent).
According to the data Germany has continued to lose ground compared to the United States in recent years. 2013 were still from 35,1 Percentage of published patent applications from the US and 19,5 percent from Germany. The proportionate China made the biggest leap among the countries mentioned, that almost tripled the number of his registrations in this period and its share of the total number of registrations 2,1 percent up 5,2 percent could increase. total be 2018 from China 30 000 patents been registered, according to a recently published study from the Mercator Institute for China Studies. China is on the way, To become a leading nation in key digital technologies.
“Also
if the German manufacturers probably still on their home market
appear to be doing comparatively well, is American dominance
companies already clearly visible today. Draws for the future
a race between the USA and the Far East”, said DPMA President Cornelia Rudloff-Schäffer at the DPMA user forum in Munich. “The ability to innovate
German companies and our country as a whole depends entirely
decisively by developments in the field of machine learning and
of artificial intelligence. We must pay attention, that the gap on this key issue for the future will not widen further.”
main driver: Automated driving, Medical technology, robotics
Overall, the Number of patent applications effective for Germany in these key technologies over the past ten years around 80 percent increased – von 3 142 in the year 2009 on 5 654 in the past year. To the main drivers include applications for automated driving. In the traffic- and vehicle technology tripled registrations during the specified period: 2009 the two registered patent authorities yet 327 Registrations, last year it was already 966. The development in the Medical technology (+131 percent). For example in the robotics and in general tax- and control technology are the growth even bigger, albeit at a significantly lower level in absolute terms registration numbers. Most of the registrations were there 2018 at the for Artificial intelligence necessary computer technology.
