Overview
Fiji's patent applications stood at 2 in 1980. Fiji ranked 65th globally.
Fiji's patent applications, as measured by the World Bank, have remained remarkably stable over the past year, with a latest value of 2.00, ranking the country 65th globally. This stagnation is consistent with Fiji's all-time peak and trough value of 2.00, as recorded in 1980, indicating a lack of significant innovation or intellectual property development within the country. Comparatively, neighboring Malawi also shares a similar patent application level of 2.00, while Haiti has a significantly lower ranking of 4.00. The stable patent application numbers in Fiji may be attributed to its relatively small size and limited economic diversification, which could hinder the growth of innovative industries. For the trajectory of Fiji's patent applications to shift, an increase in foreign direct investment or a strategic shift towards knowledge-intensive sectors would be necessary, potentially driven by government policies aimed at fostering innovation and entrepreneurship.
