PatentScope data collected from the World Intellectual Property Organisation, WIPO, reveals that an Emirati independent team of inventors, Wasfi Alshdaifat (Jordan), Ms. Eida Almuhairbi (U.A.E.) and Farah Kassab (Lebanon) accomplished 45 inventions between July 2010 and July 2014, and the data reveals that no inventive team in any university around the world has accomplished a number equal to or greater than this during the same period, during which WIPO published 29,075 international patents for all universities.
The Emirati team has patents in six out of eight of the main international classifications recorded by WIPO, a fact that makes them the only team in the world achieving this variation. The team also got very high positive results according to the international search reports and opinions which are published by the International Search and Examining authorities.
In the Arabic world, the team is ranked as the top inventor team, and fifth inventive body after Saudi Aramco, Saudi Sabic second, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology third and the Qatar Foundation in fourth, while in the U.A.E. the team is the top inventor body.
