世界知识产权组织近日发布报告，对2014至2025年间公开的生成式AI相关专利进行了统计分析[1]。结果显示，软银集团以2985项专利数量位居全球首位[1]，在这一领域的技术积累中占据绝对优势。
在全球专利数量排名前十的企业中，中国企业或机构占据了六席[1]，其中包括腾讯和百度等企业[1]。相比之下，谷歌母公司Alphabet和微软的专利数量分别为1083项和865项[1]。值得注意的是，OpenAI全球公开专利数量仅有35项[1]，远低于业界领先企业的规模。
生成式AI专利申请呈现出加速增长的趋势[1]。在2024至2025年间公开的全球生成式AI相关专利超过5.6万项[1]，已经超过了前十年的累计数量[1]，反映出该领域创新竞争的日趋激烈。
The World Intellectual Property Organization released findings on July 14 showing that SoftBank Group topped the global rankings for generative AI patents with 2,985 filings disclosed between 2014 and 2025.[1] Six of the ten leading patent holders are Chinese enterprises or institutions, including Tencent and Baidu.[1] The surge in generative AI innovation is evident in the filing trends, with more than 56,000 generative AI-related patents disclosed in 2024 and 2025 alone, exceeding the cumulative total from the preceding decade.[1]
Major technology companies secured notable positions in the rankings, though their patent volumes remain substantially below SoftBank's lead.[1] Alphabet, Google's parent company, registered 1,083 patents to rank seventh, while Microsoft filed 865 patents to place ninth.[1] In contrast, OpenAI disclosed only 35 patents globally during the period analyzed.[1] SoftBank's strong position in generative AI innovation is further underscored by its internal competition initiative, which had accumulated over 260,000 ideas by January 2026.[1]
