Reliance Industries Limited's subsidiary Jio Platforms has entered the global top 20 in the latest Patent Co-operation Treaty rankings released by the World Intellectual Property Organisation. Jio Platforms became the only Indian technology innovator to break into the Global Top-20, climbing 320 places on the list for 2025. The ranking, based on published PCT application data, placed Jio among the top filers of international patent applications globally.
Jio Platforms joined Huawei, Samsung, Qualcomm, LG, Panasonic, Nokia, Google, Apple and Microsoft among the PCT top applicants. The 320-rank jump to the 20th place came in a year when global patent filings grew by less than 1%.
Jio's patent portfolio targets next-generation digital technologies including 5G, 5G Advanced, 6G, artificial intelligence, AI-native networks, cloud-native platforms, intelligent automation, radio access, core network software, edge intelligence, fixed wireless access, network slicing and digital services infrastructure.

A total of 1,009 patents have been granted globally, comprising 538 grants in India and 471 in international markets. Jio has commercialised many of the technologies underlying its patent portfolio at scale.
Akash M. Ambani, Managing Director of Jio Platforms Limited, said the WIPO ranking is tied to Jio Platforms' transformation into a deep-tech company. Ambani added that the pace of innovation at Jio across multiple advanced technologies will continue to grow in coming years. Jio Platforms is developing sunrise technologies including 5G/6G Radio, 5G/6G Core, satellite communications and Agentic AI through JioBrain, giving its patent portfolio a growth trajectory linked to future commercial deployment.
The WIPO ranking provides external recognition of Jio Platforms' research and development productivity and intellectual property depth. Jio's rise in the ranking signals a shift in India's technology landscape from large-scale technology deployment to original technology creation.
