The number of patents applied by an entity ranged from 1 to 305,
- with applicant Ping An Technology (Shenzhen, China) filing for the highest number of patents (n=305)
- and several dozens of applicants filing for the lowest number of patents (n=1).
- We identified 5848 patents with a company as the primary applicant and 3038 patents with a university as the primary applicant.
- Out of the top 20 patent applicants, 14 are based in China, 3 are based in the United States, and 1 is based in Germany, Japan, and the Netherlands, each.
- From these data and extending to applicants beyond the top 20 ones, a list of the top 10 countries where most patents were applied from was curated.
- As Table 1 indicates, most of the relevant patent applications were filed in China, followed by the United States.
- Among this list of top 10 countries, 4 are located in Asia, 4 are located in Europe, and 2 are located in North America.
