"Demand for IP rights continued to grow around the globe in 2014," said WIPO Director General Francis Gurry. "This underscores the central role that new technology and brand recognition play in determining success in today's marketplace. It also highlights the important task that falls to IP offices in maintaining quality when examining IP applications."
According to estimations, computer technology saw most applications worldwide, followed by electrical machinery, measurement and digital communication, while digital communication and computer technology have been the two fastest growing technological fields over the past 20 years.
An estimated 1.18 million patents were granted worldwide in 2014, which saw relatively modest growth of 0.3 percent. This is mainly due to fewer grants issued by the Japan Patent Office (JPO)

BEIJING, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) -- A documentary about China's comfort women has grabbed the attention of the nation since its debut last week.
The documentary "Twenty Two" features the tale of 22 comfort women, a euphemism used for girls and women forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese during WWII.
The film became an unexpected hit, with box office revenue exceeding 139 million yuan (20.8 million U.S. dollars) within nine days, according to Maoyan, a major film database in China

"Twenty Two" scored 8.9 out of 10 points on Douban, a popular movie rating platform in China, higher than 80 percent of its peers in the documentary film category.
Theaters have increased the number of viewings from 1.5 percent per day on its release to 9.8 percent currently.
"The meaning behind the film is worth a five-star review. It might be the last video recording those women alive," said a popular comment on Douban.
"Thanks for letting me get closer to this group of women. After watching it, I felt so sorry for their past misfortune, but so happy for their peaceful days now," said another comment on Douban.

Huang is also the last victim to have attempted to sue the Japanese government over sexual slavery on the Chinese mainland, according to Su Zhiliang

After showing the day-to-day lives of the comfort women, the film thanks and acknowledges the 32
