Vietnam had only four USPTO patents in 2012!
Spare us your ridiculous Vietnamese trash-talk. Your country is the lowest man on the totem pole and you're trash-talking against the innovative South Koreans? That's just absurd!
There's a pecking order in Asia. Japan is first in USPTO patents. South Korea is second. Taiwan is third. Vietnam is dead last!
The South Koreans had an annual 14,168 USPTO patents. Vietnam had four. At the current pace, it would take Vietnam 3,542 years to match one year's worth of South Korean USPTO patents.
Know your place, you retarded Vietnamese.
South Korea's Samsung is the world's largest electronics company. Vietnam is the world's largest beggar for foreign donations. Keep trash-talking, you Vietnamese idiots.

Greater China opens up a 2,663 USPTO-granted patents lead on Germany!
Mainland China could pass France and the U.K. in the number of USPTO (U.S. Patent and Trademark Office) granted patents by next year. Greater China comprises mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
The four largest exporters in the world (e.g. #1 China by using Greater China patents, #2 U.S., #3 Germany, and #4 Japan) are also the four largest USPTO patent holders.
