For patent families with multiple inventors from different countries, each country receives fractional credit based on proportion of its participating inventors. Year on patent is first priority filing. Asia includes China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. China includes Hong Kong.
