The State of the Global IP System: The United States vs. the World *
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s annual International IP Index creates a roadmap for economies seeking to strengthen the ecosystem for innovation and creativity through more effective IP standards. 2023 was the eleventh year the Global Innovation Policy Center (GIPC) prepared this comprehensive ranking of more than 50 of the world’s economies based on intellectual property climate. Once dominant in the patent rankings, the rest of the world has caught up to the United States, as many countries understand the importance of providing strong patent protections. Despite stiff competition regarding patents, the U.S. continues to remain the top economy overall for intellectual property. This session will: (1) Analyze the patent and innovation landscape in both improving and declining countries; (2) Discuss where the United States stacked up in the 2023 patent rankings, and what innovation related policies are impacting overall U.S. performance; (3) Review where the overall global climate for IP and innovation for both SMEs and large multi-national corporations; and (4) Identify overall trends and issues shaping the global conversation.
