This is in continuation to my previous post on Patenting Landscape in India which could be read from the link given below

In this post the Analysis concentrates on finding the Top companies who have maximum publication in the Indian Patent Office. The Top Companies were searched for the patents published between 01st January 2005 -21st July 2009. The patents filed in all the 4 Indian Patent offices are considered

The Top 15 Companies

From the Graph one can conclude that Qualcomm leads in the race for Publications in the Indian Patent Office with 2118 publications followed by Philips Electronics and Council of Scientific and Industrial Research. Qualcomm deals with electronics and communication products. Since India is a major market for Mobile/ Cell phone, Qualcomm has a good advantage for its patents filed in India to get protection for its inventions

The Top Indian Assignees

From the Graph one can see that Council of Scientific and Industrial Research(CSIR) is the Top Indian Assignee when it comes to publications in India with 1541 publications followed by Hindustan Unilever Ltd. with 523 publications. But CSIR still trails with Qualcomm and hence it is necessary to encourage more research to be the Top patent filer in India.

Of the Top 100 Companies that Dolcera has analysed, 8 Indian companies happen to be in it while the rest of them are Foreign companies. It means 92 % of the Top publications in India are by MNCs. This scenario should be looked upon since the domestic Patent filers in other countries like the US, Japan, China are neck to neck with the International Filers. This should be seriously be looked upon by Indian Companies since it shows that most Indian companies concentrate/Invest only a small part of their budget to R&D activities. The Indian Government should also encourage Indian Universities to carry out R&D activities so that India could become a recognized country in R&D developments.
