Patenting Landscape in India
In recent years, India has witnessed rapid changes in its patenting landscape as a result of the growing economic activity and reforms (related to patents). In May 2008, Evalueserve investigated the patenting landscape in India, focusing on the patent applications published over 2005–07. The present study includes data for 2008 and analyses the latest trends and developments in the Indian patent landscape.
Evalueserve has identified the top patent filers at the IPO for the past four years by analysing 112,515 patent applications published by the IPO during the period January 2005 to December 2008.
The top 25 filers list includes 11 corporations from the electronics and telecom domain, and 8 from the pharmaceuticals and chemicals domain. It is interesting to note that Qualcomm has emerged as the top filer for both 2007 and 2008. During the period 2005–08, Qualcomm had 2,068 published applications at the IPO, which constitutes about 63% of its filing with the USPTO and 45% of its PCT filings during the same period. This shows how seriously Qualcomm protects its innovations in India, which is the world’s fastest-growing mobile market, growing at the rate 18% annually . In addition, General Motors, Wockhardt, General Electric, Tata Group, LG Electronics, Research in Motion, 3M, Alcatel-Lucent and Sony Ericsson have significantly improved their rankings. In contrast, the rankings of Philips, Bayer, Microsoft and AstraZeneca have dropped marginally.
