The number of patents and research citations worldwide are good indicators of the impact and volume of our innovative ideas for progress. It's these indicators, though, that have been concerning me for the past few years. 1 / We've been slowing down in patents. Apparently 2022 saw an 8% decrease in patent grants. And 4% decrease the year prior. 2 / We've been slowing down in publications output and citations by others. S&E (Science & Engineering) publications in 2022: 27% of global output by China vs. 14% of global output by the US We want to pay attention to these indicators. For those of us in the position to do so, we want to reverse them to accelerate valuable ideas for widespread adoption and impact.
