Moderator: Jeremy Philpott, Communications Manager, EPO Guest: Norbert Wienold, EPO patent examiner in digital technologies and classification expert Digital technologies are on the rise – from 5G to AI to the “internet of things”. The fields of digital communications and computer technology comprised over 15% of all patent filings to the EPO last year according to our recently published Patent Index 2020. But which countries or companies are in the lead? And how are the trends changing as these technologies rapidly evolve and converge? Norbert and Jeremy explore and unravel the stories behind the numbers for the technologies driving the Fourth Industrial Revolution. See epo.org/patentindex2020
