Congress passed and the President signed Patent Reform Act 2011 for the US. This is important as it is one of the ways the US secures money from the rest of the world for its intellectual property. The world mapper has data from 2002 which graphically illustrates the countries where most of the patents granted. Japan and South Korea are two of the other countries with a large number of patents. Note the lack of patents in South America, Africa and the Middle East.
