GENEVA, Feb 9 (Reuters) – China, Japan and South Korea are
dominating growth in international patent filings in a dramatic

northeast Asia, figures released on Wednesday showed.

The World Intellectual Property Organization said China had
increased its international patent filings in 2010 by an
astonishing 56.2 percent to 12,337, triple its 2006 figure and
pushing it into fourth place in global rankings.
