IP Spotlight September 15
The overall Index rank of the top ten countries is largely dominated by the US and Europe. However, this year, together with Singapore at #8 (second year in a row), the Republic of Korea made it into the Index at #10 (up from #11), which means two Asian countries now make up the top 10. Australia came in at #23 (up from #24) and New Zealand at #26. Hong Kong came in at #11 (up from #13), China #14 (second year in a row), Japan at #16 (down from 15#), Malaysia at #33, Vietnam at #42, Thailand at #44, India at #48, and the Philippines at #50. The ongoing rise of Asian economies in this innovation index highlights the importance of securing IP rights in this region. The index is a result of a collaboration between Cornell University, INSEAD, and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). The full Index can be found here.
