Abstract

Zusammenfassung Für Volkswirtschaften ist die eigene Innovationsfähigkeit ein entscheidender Faktor, um in der Wissensgesellschaft erfolgreich sein zu können. Das Innovationspotenzial wird häufig mit der Zahl der Patentanmeldungen gemessen — ohne dabei nach Bedeutung zu differenzieren oder ihre tatsächliche Anwendung zu untersuchen. Unser Ansatz versucht dagegen, ein realitätsnäheres Bild zu zeichnen, indem sie nur die wichtigsten Patente (Weltklassepatente) in den Blick nimmt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der Vorsprung der USA im Patentbereich bei dieser Betrachtungsweise noch deutlicher zutage tritt, China auch in Sachen Patentqualität stark aufholt und Europa vor allem in digitalen Technologien dringenden Handlungsbedarf hat.
