CHINA has surpassed the US in generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) patents, with six times as many filings in the decade from 2014 through 2023, reports Hong Kong's South China Morning Post.
China's 38,210 patent filings in the category make up about 70 per cent of the 54,000 filed in the past 10 years, according to data published by the UN's World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO). The US ranked second with 6,276 patent filings.
They are followed by South Korea, Japan and India, which had the highest average annual growth rate in patent filings at 56 per cent.
After Microsoft-backed OpenAI debuted ChatGPT in late 2022, there was an explosion of GenAI patents, with more than 25 per cent of such patents being filed in 2023 alone.
