Show Notes

Is China truly dominating global innovation, or is there more to the patent story than the headlines suggest? In this segment of Intellectual Property News, co-hosts Richard Gearhart and Elizabeth Gearhart break down global patent rankings using data from the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and explore why China files nearly 1.5 million applications a year—more than the U.S., Japan, and South Korea combined. We unpack the strategic differences in domestic vs. international filings, narrow vs. broad patent claims, and what these trends mean for entrepreneurs navigating intellectual property, global markets, and competitive advantage.
