Ant Group and Tencent top the list of blockchain patents in China in 2021

Technology giants Ant Group and Tencent top the list of largest patent holders for blockchain technology in China.

“Blockchain Patent Ranking in China 2021 (Top 100)” published by IPRdaily and IncPat on September 27th shows the enormous growth of Chinese blockchain patents since 2019.

Despite the widespread and tougher crackdown on cryptocurrencies, China is heavily focused on the development of blockchain technology and is joining the US as the two powers with the most blockchain patents in the world.

As of August 31, 2021, China had registered a total of 4,068 valid patent approvals, while China’s blockchain patent approvals increased five-fold in 2020 alone compared to 2019.

Below is a list of the number of blockchain patent applications as of August 31, 2021.

1st group of ants – 631
2. Tencent – 307
3. 33.com – 86
4. China Unicom – 80
5. Baidu – 76
6. JDD – 57
7. Hyperchain – 47
8.Ree necklace – 44
9. IAllChain – 42
10. China Ping An – 39

The most common type of patents, which make up more than half of them, are fintech applications. This includes cryptocurrency exchanges or storage applications. Other popular categories are patents for decentralized business platforms, solutions implemented on blockchain, business services with a financial and health component, and banking services.

Blockchain-related patents are an indicator of a country’s blockchain dominance. Unfortunately, Synthetic Team does not yet have any blockchain-related patents, although the proportion of PhD professors is higher than that of its northern neighbor.
