Toyota’s Patent Powerhouses: The Top Countries Making their Mark in 2022

Jan 17, 2023

Among the top countries that published patents in 2022, Toyota happened to be at number three! Toyota, the Japanese global automotive giant, also spent the year publishing a substantial number of patents in several countries worldwide. We thought it might be a good idea to use a 3D column graph to exhibit the top 10 countries and the number of patent documents published in each country. 

Needless to say, Japan tops the list with 12,826 patent publications in 2022! The US and China follow in second and third place with 6803 and 5372 documents, respectively, although they’re far behind compared to Japan. Let’s not forget the contributions of the remaining countries and patent authorities such as Germany (1048), EP, the European Patent Office (1040), Korea (350), WO (PCT) or the World Intellectual Property Organization (256), India (221), Brazil (185), and Malaysia (69).
