Patents, Publications, and Global Market: A Comprehensive Case Study of Global Emerging Technologies

The study analyses patent and publication trends of the top ten emerging technologies to understand their transformativeimpacts. Technologies such as Semiconductors, 3D printing, AR/VR, blockchain, IoT, AI, quantum computing, edgecomputing, gene editing, and green hydrogen are examined quantitatively to identify key players, technological focuses, andinnovative insights.Six of the ten technologies exhibit higher patent counts than publications, indicating active exploration and adoption byindustries. Conversely, four technologies show lower patent activity, signaling early development stages with significantfuture promise.The study emphasizes the importance of collaboration between academia and industry to bridge the gap between patentfilings and academic publications. Additionally, the distribution of companies across countries underscores the significanceof global collaboration in driving innovation.In conclusion, strategic investment in research and development, collaboration, and global cooperation are vital formaximizing societal benefits from emerging technologies. The study also underlines the need to strengthen the intellectualproperty base and leveraging these technologies for progress towards Industry 4.0.
