International Trends in Patents, Research Funding and Technology for Unmanned Aerial Systems

View table of contents

This 67-page report examines international trends and developments of unmanned aerial drones in universities, governments, militaries and private industry. You’ll find details on drone research and spending in the USA, China, the EEC, Japan, South Korea and others.   

Universities will find this report an excellent benchmarking tool so you can compare your research efforts with those of other institutions. This study also includes easy-to-scan charts and figures displaying critical data you can’t find in any other publication.  

Get answers to tough questions such as:

• Which organizations are the major patent holders in unmanned aerial vehicles?
• Where is the most cutting-edge research being conducted worldwide?
• What is the role of the US military? The Chinese military? The Government of South Korea? EEC?  Japan? 
• Which universities worldwide enjoy the most funding support for drone research and which sources are funding them? 
• Which government laboratories and agencies are most involved in drone research and at what level?

A detailed bibliography and references to the sites are also included in the report. Many sourced materials can be downloaded, most free of charge, enabling you to do further study and analysis.

Take a look at just a few of the findings you’ll see in this report:

• Top 10 global companies with UAS-related patents
• Top 10 countries with the most patents
• The major UAS patent holder in the United States

Benchmarking data you can trust

You can rely on the accuracy of the detailed data, commentary, and analysis provided in this informative report. It was published by James Moses, President of Primary Research Group. Mr. Moses is the author of hundreds of industry studies and benchmarking reports and is a former economist for the U.S. International Trade Commission.
