The company pointed to its 320-position jump coming at a time when global PCT filings grew by less than 1%, reflecting the rate of innovation going on in the company.
"The rise of Jio Platforms to the global top 20 in the WIPO PCT rankings reflects our years of efforts towards transforming into a deep-tech company," said Akash Ambani, Managing Director of Jio Platforms Limited.
"It demonstrates the velocity of innovation at Jio across multiple advanced technologies, which will continue to grow in the coming years. I would like to dedicate this achievement to Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi's vision of an Atmanirbhar Bharat, which envisages India becoming a creator, owner and exporter of technology to the world," he added.
"We are proud to contribute to India's journey towards becoming a global deep-tech powerhouse."
In addition to telecom, Jio has increasingly been focusing on creating proprietary technologies with commercial applications.
The company is working on future-proof projects such as 5G & 6G radio technology, next-generation core network, satellite communication technology and Agentic AI platforms through the JioBrain programme.
The investments enable the company to place the patent portfolio not just as an indicator of innovation production, but also of future commercial possibilities, the company said.
