Indian patent trending with GDP

Jim O'Neill is credited with coining the aronym "BRIC," and identifying these high growth economies specifically back in 2001 (incidentally, his recent "The Growth Map" is worth a read) and certainly all of them have had incredible economic growth from around 2000 to today, and India is definitely a prime example.

As with the other BRIC countries, India really takes off just before the turn of the century, both in terms of GDP growth and in terms of patent trending (US and WIPO).   And if interest in patent data provides any insight, India ranks only behind the US as the country leading the charts in terms of visitors and page views on FPO (and trending from less than 15% of US traffic to over 25% of US traffic from 2008 to present).  IP awareness and productivity have grown extremely quickly in India over the period that their economic engine has taken off.
