[PConline News] Wearable technology has attracted attention from all walks of life in recent years. On the surface, all giants are occupying the wearable device market. In fact, countries secretly compete in wearable technology patents. According to a recent statistics from the Korean media, during the entire year from 2003 to 2014, a total of 64,502 patent applications related to wearable devices were filed worldwide. Among them, the top 30 companies have a total of 8,539 patents, accounting for 13.2% of the total. Samsung on the top of the list has more than 600 patents. In addition, Philips in the Netherlands ranks second, Panasonic, LG and Canon rank 3 to 5, and there are more than 400 patents. From the country's perspective, Japan, the United States, and China each hold 17,813, 14,519 and 14,423 wearable technology patents ranked one to three. In other words, research in this field in China, Japan, and the United States as a whole is relatively advanced, while patent technology in Korea is mainly concentrated in the hands of large companies. The United States and Japan, as countries with a high level of traditional science and technology development, are not surprising in this field. And China can have a place in it, even vaguely has a certain ability to beat the United States and Japan, it is enough to explain China's development in the field of patents in recent years. Take the most common smart watch currently used in wearable devices, although Apple Watch is still the dominant player on the market, similar devices launched by Chinese brands such as Huawei, etc., also have strong market competitiveness. This kind of competitiveness is undoubtedly due to the research and development of our country's scientific research personnel. Comments: After the patents keep up, it is even more necessary to seize the market. For Chinese companies, there is a long way to go.
