1. Computer systems based on Biological Models -
With a CAGR growth of 67.28% in number of patents filed from 2016 to 2020, Computer systems based on biological models (Patent Class - G06N 3 & Its Subclass) is the top fastest growing technology.As per IFI, this technology refers to computing systems where the computation is based on biological models (brains, intelligence, consciousness, genetic reproduction) or is using physical material of biological origin (biomolecules, DNA, biological neurons, etc.) to perform the computation. The computation can be digital, analogue or chemical in nature.
According to IFI, many growing sub technologies are included within class G06N of Patents (Computer systems based on specific computational models) which is the top area in terms of new technology developments right now.
2. Electrical Smoking Devices
Technology related to vaping devices.
Technologies include electrically operated smoking devices and its related component parts, its related maintenance or testing and charging means specially adapted for electrical smoking devices or simulated smoking devices for example limiting the frequency of smoking, e.g. with time-control, counting means.
3. Crop Science Technologies Related to Plant and Seed Development
Angiosperms – New Flowering PlantsIt also include Artificial pollination and specific mutations prepared by genetic engineering on plant cell or plant tissue.
4. Machine Learning
Considered as part of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning is related to computer algorithms that can self-improve through experience and by the use of data. With patent classification of 'G06N 20', this technology is growing fast with a CAGR of 46.01%.This 4th fastest growing technology include Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Ensemble Learning. SVM is a supervised machine learning model with associated learning algorithms that analyze data used for classification and regression analysis. SVM is highly preferred by many as it produces significant accuracy with less computation power.
The Ensemble Learning is a hybrid method in machine learning that intelligently combines the insights obtained from multiple learning models to facilitate accurate and improved decisions.
5. Quantum computers
Quantum computers are computers that perform calculations based on the probability of an object's state before it is measured - instead of just 1s or 0s - which means they have the potential to process exponentially more data compared to classical computers.
In 2016 to 2020, IBM (655) and Google LLC (338) tops the number of patents in Quantum Computers.
A recently published quantum computing patent application provides solutions to problems related to timing in a photonic quantum computer. Precise timing is needed for certain operations in a quantum computer that uses qubits represented by entangled photon states in a photonic integrated circuit, for example.
6. Control Systems related to Autonomous Vehicles and Driver-Assist Technology
