India ranks sixth in world in Patent application: Jitendra Singh

New Delhi, 14 Nov (UNI) union Minister Jitendra Singh on Friday spotlighted India’s emergence as the world’s 6th largest patent filer with over 64,000 patents applied. Addressing the Annual Tech Fest INNOTECH’25 at a Ghaziabad University, the minister drew attention to a surge in patent applications by resident Indian innovators, accounting for nearly 55 percent of total submissions.
