China was the biggest source of applications for international patents in the world in 2020 for the second consecutive year, according to a report by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) on Tuesday. 

International patent applications via WIPO in 2020 continued to grow amid the COVID-19 pandemic's vast human and economic toll, said the report.
