We always said that Xiaomi is one of the most featured companies patents absolutely. Together with Oppo it is at the top of the ranking. However, it must be remembered that there is not only one "place" where these can be presented and deposited. Very often we see patents coming from the database of the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) but there are also those of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). And it is precisely the Chinese wing of the latter that communicates the data relating to the number of patents presented in 2019 and 2020 by Lei Jun's brand.
Xiaomi has filed hundreds of patents at WIPO over the last 2 years: a huge growth from the first to the second that won't stop easily
According to when revealed by Chinese sources, Xiaomi would have placed first in China and in absolute qunto place regarding the number of patents registered at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). We remind you, for the uninitiated, that this is one of the specialized agencies of the United Nations and it is not a Chinese body like the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA). In general, WIPO points out, the number of documents from China increased by 22.7%.
Xiaomi stands out because it is the only Chinese company to be present in this ranking. But how many patents have you filed? Well 516 in 2020 and only 172 in the previous year. A considerable increase in the course of just one year. But this primacy is not the only one that Chinese society can boast of. Far more important international awards they arrived last year and will arrive in the current one.
Xiaomi stated in March 2021 that its ecosystem has won more than 600 international and national design awards. Xiaomi MIX won theIDEA Design Gold Award in the United States and a number of ecosystem products won iF Gold Award, Good Design Best 100 e Red Dot Best of the Best Design Awards.
At the same time, the Mi MIX series smartphones are also exhibited in three world famous museums, the Pompidou National Center of Art and Culture in France, the National Design Museum of Finland and the International Design Museum in Munich, Germany.
