Just released___ Top 100 Global Innovators™ 2020 (and the fake patents)

Recent ranking extracted from a group of 14000 organizations with more than 100 granted inventions in the last five years (and more than 500 filed in total) in four parameters:
patent volume, citation influence, grant success and globalization)

Below the countries with the best performance in which Europe rules in a most clear way !

Switzerland...3.5 organizations/(10 million inhabitants)
Japan............2.5
Ireland...........2.1
Finland..........1.8
Netherland....1.2
United States.1.2

P.S - Still what this ranking do not measure is the number of fake patents, an issue that I mentioned in here. And the question must be made, how many fake patents are granted each year ? 10, 100, 10.000 ? If there are databases that track paper retractions there must be also databases to track patent retractions like the ones from Theranos.
