Short report vs. Long report

You've read the summary. Here's what it left out.

The short report offers the headline narrative. The long report delivers the underlying analysis, assignee-level intelligence, technology fragmentation, and complete market and competitive context, that patent attorneys, R&D leaders and investors rely on to brief clients or leadership.

The numbers shaping the autonomous vehicle race

A sample of the findings inside the long report, each backed by sourced, citable data your team can put directly into a memo.

7,678

Record Filing Year

Patent filings hit 7,678 in 2025, roughly 7x growth since 2017, as companies race to lock in position before standards and dominant architectures converge.

22,322

China Leads by Volume

China holds the highest concentration of AV patent filings globally, well ahead of the US (5,747) and India (4,102).

15–20%

A Grant-Light Landscape

The grant-to-application ratio sits at just 15 to 20%, signalling a portfolio still being built rather than enforced, with a wave of conversions likely ahead.

20 mo

Fastest Path to Grant

South Korea grants patents in as little as ~20 months, versus ~112 months in Brazil, the widest prosecution-speed gap identified in the dataset.

$214B

Market Set to Triple

The global AV market is projected to grow from $68.09 billion in 2024 to $214.32 billion by 2030, a CAGR of 19.9%.

92%

Real-World Safety Gains

Waymo's fleet recorded 92% fewer bodily injury claims and 88% fewer property damage claims than human drivers across 25 million miles of operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the short report on the website?

The short report is a focused summary. The long report adds the assignee-based trends (top holders, filing velocity, geographic footprint, portfolio legal status, expiry, remaining life and value growth), the full technology fragmentation breakdown, a much deeper market section covering current market, forecast, potential and quality vs. quantity, plus mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and the taxonomy definitions appendix, the material teams actually cite in memos and board decks.

What format is the report delivered in?

A full PDF report, delivered instantly to the email used at checkout, along with a companion chart pack for internal presentations.

Is the data sourced and citable?

Yes. Every figure is drawn from Intelacia’s original patent analysis and cross-referenced against major market-research houses, with sourcing notes included in the report.
