Returning to the analysis of patent trends internationally, we look at one of the last decades economic powerhouses: Korea. As it turns out (and anyone in the patent space knows this), Korea is also a patenting powerhouse - in fact, in terms of simple quantity of US patent grants and published WIPO "apps," they are right at the top of the heap. A couple of notes about this graph - the patent data (WIPO published and US Grants) is broken into 4 categories:
1) US (Assignee): US patent grant with an Assignee IN Korea
2) US (Inventor): US patent grant with an Inventor IN Korea
3) WIPO (Assignee): Published WIPO with an Assignee IN Korea
4) WIPO (Inventor): Published WIPO with an Inventor IN Korea
