COMMENTARY     

D. K. Main
5th October 2012
I assume that most of these patents are granted to corporations, rather than to individuals, and that the patents are thus credited to the countries in which the corporations are headquartered, rather than to those countries in which the actual inventors reside-- let alone the countries from which those inventors originated. So, for instance, Japan may be credited here with a patent that was granted to Sony, even though it actually was invented in the United States, and even though the actual inventor was a Chinese national, merely employed by Sony, in the United States.

How many US patents are "non residential" where the research and the profit making take place abroad. We have some very consumer unfriendly patent laws in this country, especially in regards to medical patents.
