This paper presents an empirical approach to identifying and ranking the world's largest clusters of inventive activity on the basis of patent filings. Patent data offer rich information on the locality of innovative activity. Many researchers have already made use of these data to study individual clusters or selected clusters within a particular region. Our approach goes beyond existing work by identifying and ranking innovation clusters on an internationally comparable basis.

According to the European innovation scoreboard, which measures innovation in Europe through a variety of different indicators, Austria had the highest score when it came to 'intellectual assets' in 2022, a category which measures the strengths of intellectual property rights, such as patent applications, trademark applications, and design applications.

In 2022, the intellectual property office of China was first in the ranking of the most resident and international plant variety grants, with ***** grants issued. By comparison, ***** plant variety grants were issued in the Community Plant Variety Office (CVPO) that same year.

As of July 2023, Malaysia reached the highest score on the National Cyber Security Index among countries in the Asia-Pacific region, ***** out of 100. In contrast, Myanmar received ***** index points, the lowest score across APAC. Cybercrime and industry composition in APAC Cybercrime in the Asia-Pacific region has experienced a surge recently, not least attributable to rapid digital transformations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Another important reason for the substantial number of attacks is the prevalence of manufacturing industries in the APAC region - cybercrime in the manufacturing industry is more common relative to other industries. In 2022, about a quarter of cyberattacks across industries worldwide occurred in the manufacturing industry. The industry’s economic significance, richness in intellectual property, and digitalized industrial processes tied to other sectors make it an attractive target for cybercriminals.
