Topic 2: “Global intellectual property trends and the case of India” Leveraging Intellectual Property for Enterprise Growth and Competitiveness
January 14, 2015 Sacha Wunsch-Vincent, Senior Economist, WIPO
New Delhi
Outline of the talk 1. IP in evolution – global view
2. India and IP - in perspective 3. Knowledge gaps: Evidence needed to design IP policies?
Strong IP growth in uneven global economic recovery Global patent filings strong annual increases in 2013, 2.6 million patent applications worldwide Driven by China where about a third of the world’s patent applications were filed, followed by US Reflecting uneven growth rates of regions
Four phases of IP growth: Increasing demand and changing geography of the global IP system
Phase 1: Growth in patent applications stable at low levels until the 1970s, followed by acceleration among a few
Phase 2: As of late 70s, fast growth in highincome economies, US, Japan, followed by Europe
Phase 3: Middleincome countries such as China, Brazil, and India picked up from the mid1990s onwards, ramping up growth at uneven speeds
Phase 4: While top offices continue to drive growth, more strategic uptake of IP in a broder subset of countries.
1. IP in evolution - The increase in the demand for IP
Source: WIPO Statistics Database, October 2011 http://wipo.int/pressroom/fr/articles/2011/article_0028.html
The demand for IP has internationalised: Moving to selected lower- and upper-middle income countries, and to Asia
Significant difference still in foreignoriented patent families
Four phases of IP growth: Increasing demand and changing geography of the global IP system
Phase 1: Growth in patent applications stable at low levels until the 1970s, followed by acceleration among a few
Phase 2: As of late 70s, fast growth in high-income economies, US, Japan, followed by Europe
Phase 3: Middleincome countries such as China, Brazil, and India picked up from the mid-1990s onwards, ramping up growth at uneven speeds
Phase 4: While top offices continue to drive growth, more strategic uptake of IP in a broder subset of countries. • More varied and smart, targetted approach to fostering IP use
2. India’s IP in perspective India was the top 8 recipient of patent filings in the world in 2013. It ranked before Canada and Brazil.
India is particularly active as to patent and trademark filings abroad Applications abroad = main source of growth for India, while growth in resident applications was for China. • Patents abroad since 2010 - growth of 20% per year. • Indians use of PCT, one of highest average national phase entries among emerging economies During this period, trademark applications filed abroad by Indian applicants increased on average by 12% per year.
Relative patent specialization index, shows India’s focus on computers and pharmaceuticals worldwide.

Special interest topic I: I) How to improve industry-science linkages and commercialisation? High share of public research organizations in total patenting of around 22 percent –highest shares in world
Source: Word IP Report 2011, Chapter 4
Special interest topic II: ICT and BPO services and the role of IP ICT and BPO services: ICT and BPO service providers scaling up their IP filing activity software engineering, software testing & systems and software applications (cloud computing, analytics, mobility, robot surveillance, machine learning) Can trend be extended to other manufacturing or services sectors?
Special interest topic III: Scope to enlist the Indian inventive potential?
WIPO World IP Report 2013: India’s increased branding potential Source: WIPO World IP Report 2013
While branding investments correlate closely with the level of economic development around the world, rapidly growing middleincome economies such as China and India today invest more in branding than high-income economies did when they were at a comparable development stage..
3. Knowledge gaps: Evidence needed to design IP policies? Who is filing and why? • Linking to innovation surveys • Conducting IP surveys – IP use and commercialisation • Indian inventor profile – filings abroad Who could be filing more? • Understanding potential IP use What is relevance for small enterprises & “frugal innovation”? Relevance of international branding
