UN patent data shows Asia innovation surge

More than half of all international patent applications filed last year came from Asia, a further sign of innovation shifting "from west to east," the United Nations said Tuesday. In the latest annual breakdown of patent filings released by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the United States remained the leading individual country for applications in 2018.
