The 2010 State of Innovation Report is the second annual analysis of 12 technology areas and their global innovation by the IP Solutions business of media group Thomson Reuters.
The technology areas, which remain the same every year, judges patent activity according to data in the Derwent World Patents Index database from Thomson Reuters.
Patent activity is used as a barometer for innovation in this report. To measure patent activity, Thomson Reuters studied the first instance or invention for published patent applications and granted patents in 2010, counting each invention only once, in the country where protection was first sought.
