Data notes & caveats
This is a selected emerging-economy comparison, not a full global ranking. No all-emerging-economy denominator is used.
Methodology
Rows use WIPO 2024 resident patent application counts for India and selected low- and middle-income origins. Values are kept as raw application counts.
Source consistency notes
The comparison uses WIPO 2024 rows and the same application-count unit; India comes from the top-origin panel and the peer rows from the selected emerging-economy panel.
