China Seizing German Patents

A study shows that more than 11,300 German patents have been acquired by Chinese entities over the past two decades, with a focus in sensitive sectors such as machinery building and robotics. This phenomenon is leading to a shift in ownership of German innovations, with about one-third of patents in Germany now owned by foreigners, primarily the United States and China. This trend is associated with a decline in research and development investment in Germany, which lost its third-ranking position worldwide in 2000 to sixth place in 2021, while China's R&D spending has increased twentyfold during that period.
