Hundreds of Patents for Chinese Inventors Obtained Through US Funding
Research funded by the U.S. Defense Department, NASA, and other government agencies has resulted in over 1,000 U.S. patents being granted to inventors based in China since 2010. These patents cover a range of fields, including biotechnology and semiconductors, raising concerns about the transfer of sensitive technology and intellectual property. Data from the U.S. patent agency reveals the extent of this trend.
