Recently, WIPO released a panoramic report on generative artificial intelligence patent analysis. The report shows that the number of patent families for generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has increased from 733 in 2014 to more than 14,000 in 2023, of which more than 25% of patent applications appeared in 2023. In this year, the number of AI patent applications increased significantly, reaching 34,000.

In the 10 years from 2014 to 2024, China has applied for 38,000 GenAI patent applications, six times that of the United States. India is the fifth largest GenAI invention country and has the highest annual growth rate of 56% in the first five years. According to the patent application trends shown in the report, GenAI has been applied in many industries such as life sciences, manufacturing, transportation, security and telecommunications.

Between 2014 and 2023, there were 54,000 GenAI-related invention patent application families and more than 75,000 scientific papers published.
Since the introduction of the deep neural network architecture in 2017, this architecture has become synonymous with GenAI, and the number of GenAI patents has increased eightfold.
In 2023, more than 25% of GenAI patents and more than 45% of GenAI scientific papers were published.
GenAI currently accounts for only 6% of all AI patents worldwide.
The top 10 GenAI patent applicants are Tencent, Ping An Insurance, Baidu, Chinese Academy of Sciences, IBM, Alibaba, Samsung Electronics, Alphabet, ByteDance and Microsoft.
