Indonesia excels in patents from local scientists
[JAKARTA] Developing nations’ patent applications are dominated by foreign applicants seeking protection for their innovations. Only Indonesia and China have more of their own citizens than foreigners applying for patents locally, according to the Derwent World Patent Index 2013 released in September.
Indonesia’s scientists, most of them from universities and government research institutions, contributed to nearly 55 per cent of the country’s total patents in 2012 while in China over 75 per cent are domestic applicants.
