3.3 LIST OF OFFICES OF FIRST FILINGThe table below shows the office of first filing details for the assistive devices and technologies for visually and hearing impaired persons landscape, with the number of patent families shown for each authority. Also shown in the table is the classification of each country into Developed Economies (e.g. Japan, United States), the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) or other economies, such as Malaysia and Mexico. Table 2 - Number of Patent Families per Office of First Filing for Assistive Devices and Technologies for Visually and Hearing Impaired Persons (2 or more patent families)
The table below highlights only the BRICS and other economies including developing countries19 appearing in the data set. BRICS countries dominate here with China and Russia being high patent filers. Hungry is shown to be the largest patent filer among the other economies, however its total patents is still low when compared to most developed countries. Table 3 - Number of Patent Families per Office of First Filing for Assistive Devices and Technologies for Visually and Hearing Impaired Persons for all BRICS and other economies.
3.4 OFFICES OF SECOND (SUBSEQUENT) FILINGThis table shows the full list of offices of second (subsequent) filing within the dataset for reference purposes. This list is shorter in length from the office of first filing analysis in Table 2 due to the limitations of patent family coverage within the patent dataset. DWPI (the patent data source for the project) covers 50 distinct patent authorities around the world; however coverage of these patent authorities differs over time. In addition, some patent authorities listed as Offices of First Filing are not covered in the DWPI database. Moreover, it appears that a large group of specific patent offices are the general locations of subsequent filings. The PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) is the top office by far. This is then followed by the EPO (European Patent Office), Japan, Australia and the United States. This indicates that these countries expect an inflow of patent applications from other territories.

3.5 GEOGRAPHIC MAPPING ANALYSIS OF MAJOR SOURCES OF INNOVATIONFigure 14 visualizes graphically the major, medium and small sources of patent applications and granted patents within the assistive devices and technologies for visually and hearing impaired persons landscape. All of the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) are represented. Other developing countries such as Argentina, Indonesia and Malaysia are also represented however in much lower numbers. Major sources of activity are fairly spread out with activity from United States, Japan, China, Germany, Russian Federation and South Korea the most prominent.
