Remarkably, 92% of these cases originated from representatives based in four nations: <b style=\"color: var(--awb-custom_color_1);\">Japan<\/b>, <b style=\"color: var(--awb-custom_color_1);\">the US<\/b>, <b style=\"color: var(--awb-custom_color_1);\">China<\/b>, and <b style=\"color: var(--awb-custom_color_1);\">Korea<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of reciprocity on a country level, German firms achieved reciprocity solely with China in the sheer number of exchanged cases. However, representatives from the US, Korea, and Japan sent considerably more cases than they received from German patent law firms. Notably, Japan stands out, having received 16,070 cases from Germany while dispatching an impressive 103,842 cases, underscoring the significant importance of the German market to Japanese inventors.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-10 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:50%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.84%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:50px;--awb-spacing-left-large:0.384%;--awb-width-medium:50%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:3.84%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:0.384%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\" style=\"--awb-margin-top:-40px;\"><h5>Law Firms Receiving Most Cases from Germany: Country Breakdown 2018-2022<\/h5>\n<\/div><div class=\"flourish-embed flourish-chart\" data-src=\"visualisation\/16187269\"><script src=\"https:\/\/public.flourish.studio\/resources\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-11 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:50%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.84%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:50px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.84%;--awb-width-medium:50%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:3.84%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:3.84%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-9\" style=\"--awb-margin-top:-40px;\"><h5>Law Firms Sending Most Cases to Germany: Country Breakdown 2018-2022<\/h5>\n<\/div><div class=\"flourish-embed flourish-chart\" data-src=\"visualisation\/16187494\"><script src=\"https:\/\/public.flourish.studio\/resources\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-12 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:0%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:0%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:0%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:0%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-4 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:32;line-height:var(--awb-typography1-line-height);\">To sum up&nbsp;<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-10\"><p>Between 2018 and 2022, Germany&#8217;s patent law landscape was active, <b style=\"color: var(--awb-color4);\">with 919 firms handling 593,728 applications<\/b>.
