Did you know? Korea is in the top 5 for filings

An interesting article on patent filings in South Korea (http://bit.ly/aWWfQS). This country is number 4 for patent filings. According to the article the top filer there is LG Electronics. It is "becoming the world's seventh-biggest international patent applicant".

One explanation might be the South Korean economy’s heavy reliance on export-orientated manufacturing. In a country with virtually no raw resources for export, there is a huge demand to produce intellectual property to survive in the competitive global market.
