By the world's leading enterprises and professionals Thomson Reuters Intellectual right of intelligence information sources and scientific enterprise group (Intellectual Property & Science business of Thomson Reuters) announced by the 11th, the Innovation globally in 2016 (the State of Innovation, 2016), according to a report of global enterprises, universities, government institutions and research institutions the speed of Innovation has been an unprecedented record.
Has moved to the 7 years, the annual report mainly analysis the global intellectual property information, including patent applications and scientific literature published around the world, serve as an indicators of 12 areas of science and technology innovation. This study found that global innovation created double-digit annual growth rate, the main growth from medical equipment, household appliances, aerospace and defense, information technology, and oil and gas fields.
The study also track the number of scientific literature published around the world, because science and academic research are often walk in the front of the innovation and the related intellectual property protection. Compared to the overall number of patents and scientific literature output decline from a year earlier, according to the future innovation steps could be slowing.
The study found that the other highlights include:
Innovation annual double-digit growth rate: 2015 global patent total amount to grow at an annual rate of 7%, compared with the reported for the first time in 2009 when the growth of more than 100%. Scientific studies of whole number fell 19% from a year earlier, compared with 2009 is reduced by 27%.
Medical equipment, household appliances, aerospace and defence to drive growth, the number of patents in each industry in growth rate (27%) of the top performers including medical equipment, household appliances (21%), aerospace and defense (15%), oil and gas (14%) and information technology (13%).
Biotechnology is the only industry: growth slowed sharply this year research shows that only in the number of patents from a year earlier decline in industry as the biological technology, growth rate of 2%.
Open innovation mode is popular: the so-called "open innovation", is enterprises, universities, government agencies and research institutions to strengthen cooperation relations, so that the new technology import market phenomenon. From the increase of the multinational enterprise integration, and prolific scientific research organization, obviously you can see the trend. Including treasure alkali (Procter & Gamble), and the University of Sao Paulo, the United States food and drug administration (FDA) and harvard University, ranked top research institutions in the field of cosmetics, and Ford (Ford), University of science and technology and the University of Michigan and Turin (Polytechnic University of Turin), is ranked auto sector in the top research institutions.
Thomson Reuters intellectual right and scientific enterprise group President Vin Caraher said: "feature is a breakthrough in a series of 2015: the first test drive car in a public highway, the longest ever human space missions, and biological similarity approved drugs for the first time - it's all because of breakthrough the limitation of traditional boundaries and test human creativity and achievement. We continue to global concrete measures such as patents and scientific literature output to comparison innovation level, to see the outline of the areas of future growth."
