GUANGZHOU -- A report on the patent index regarding the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area was released at a forum held on Saturday in South China's Guangdong province.

The report on the patent index was released by the National Science Library of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at a session of the Greater Bay Area Science Forum. It was based on the patent data gathered and revealed the characteristics and development trends of the Greater Bay Area's scientific and technological innovation.

The Greater Bay Area has seen a surge in patent applications, with dominance in overseas invention patents licensed nationwide.
